FitLot Senior Exercise Circle at Princeville's Kupuna Place, funded by AARP, is Completed
The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay had a vision to create a resource for seniors, known as Kupuna in Hawaii, to facilitate health and wellness.

The 42' diameter exercise circle is specifically designed for the needs of seniors, and the FitLot was installed in 2022 with a generous $250,000 grant from and donations from individuals and island organizations.
Kuhio Hwy Cleanup
The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay has adopted a stretch of highway from the Princeville shopping mall to the spa. On the first Saturday of every month you'll find the regular crew out there keeping our highways clean on this notoriously dirty part of the highway as trash blows off of loads destined for the nearby transfer station.
Volunteer with us and help keep Kauaʻiʻs nature, animals and ocean clean. Join us at 8:00 am at the Princeville Foodland the first Saturday of every month.
Youth Education Scholarships

Kīlauea Agricultural Center Gazebo and Market Hall
The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay installed an amazing False Kamani table hand-crafted by Rotarian Terry Wells as a community gathering place inside the Rotary Gazebo within our 1-acre Rotary Park located in the Kīlauea Community Agricultural Center.
The Kīlauea Community Agricultural Center works to contribute to island food security and to a healthy, stable, balanced local agricultural economy on its 75 acres.
As part of our mission to build out the Rotary Park, we developed the sponsor-a-tree program. For a $250 donation, we'll plant a tree on your behalf, dedicated to you or a loved one, to support the work and mission of the Kīlauea Community Agricultural Center.

Heart of Gold Campaign
Heart of Gold Campaign
The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay has donated over 50 Automatic External Defibrillators (or AED’s) to the communities of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau and continue to maintain and support ongoing training for use. Training is free and available to anyone.
The AED restarts the heart in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest and is a key element in the survival of victims when it is used in conjunction with CPR.
Our plan is to now support neighbourhoods with the purchase, installation, training and maintenance of AEDS for at home use where most cardiac events occur.
