In February, the Lahaina Sunrise Rotary Club of Maui received a special delivery from members of the Rotary Club of Marysville. Club member Gerald Odor visits Maui every year and has developed quite a bond with the Lahaina club during his visits. He discovered that they were raising money for vocational scholarships, to purchase tools and equipment needed to replace those lost in the fire and help get Lahaina residents back to work.
Gerald asked his Marysville club members to contribute to the cause before his planned February visit. In addition to the $1,000 the club gave during the initial fundraising effort for Maui last year, club members contributed a total of $2,330, which Gerald delivered in person.
