Membership

The Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset was chartered in September 2014. Our members actively participate in community service projects to enhance the quality of life in our community.
 
We welcome new members who are interested in:
 
  • Community Service: Rotarians are hard at work to serve the community, here in Maui County and around the world. We partner with non-profit organizations, county, and private sector companies throughout Maui to hold monthly community service projects such as recycling events, school supplies drives, food collections and much more.
 
  • Business Networking: Rotary is a place for networking and sharing experience and knowledge with people you know and trust.
 
  • Friends for Life: Rotarians are people with big hearts, who make great friends. You will make friends for life!
 
Rotary membership fees
 
Rotary membership fees cover the contribution to Rotary International, Hawaii District 5000 and expenses to run the club. No officers of the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset are paid any stipend. 
 
We have several membership categories and club dues are different for each category. New members pay pro rata annual membership dues from the first day of the month following induction. The dues may be paid annually or semi-annually. Following are the dues for the 2021-22 Rotary Year (July 1 2021 - June 30 2022).
 
  • Regular Member: Regular Member’s primary residence is on Maui. Dues are $295 per year, prorated, plus a one-time $35 membership fee.
 
  • Spouse/Partner Member: If married or partnered with a Regular Member, the individual is eligible for reduced dues. Dues are $195 per year, prorated, plus a one-time $35 membership fee. 
 
  • Young Professional Member (under age 30): Dues are $146.00 per year, prorated, plus a one-time $35 membership fee.
 
  • Malihini Member: A guest member whose primary residence is not on Maui but who wishes to establish a seasonal connection to the club, is welcome to be a Malihini Member. A Malihini Member does not have voting rights in club affairs and will not be included in the club membership roster reported to Rotary International and District 5000 (Hawaii). Dues are $195 per year, prorated, plus a one-time $35 membership fee.
 
  • Company Member: A business or company can pay the membership fee for a Regular Member.  If the Regular Member cannot attend a meeting or activity, a member of the company can attend or participate in his/her place.
 
Rotary Time Commitment
 
The Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset meets the first, third, and fifth Tuesday of each month, with a speaker, at the Royal Ocean Terrace Restaurant at The Royal Lahaina Resort. As of June 15, 2021 meetings are held in-person and hybrid via Zoom.  An optional social takes place between 5:00 - 5:30 p.m., followed by the meeting between 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
 
The second Tuesday of the month (or another day, often on weekends) is a community service project in place of a meeting.
 
The fourth Tuesday is reserved for a club social with no speaker, held between 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. at different locations. This is a casual get together where members get to know one another better. Friends and family are always welcome.
 
Members are expected to attend 50% of meetings, including regular meetings and/or community service projects. Missed meetings may be made up by attending any other Rotary club meetings, on Maui, the mainland or overseas.
 
Membership Process
 
Anyone is welcome at our club meetings, which offer a great opportunity to get to know us and learn more about Rotary. Prospective members are asked to attend two club meetings and fill out an application form. Once the application is approved by the board of directors, it is sent to the membership for approval. The prospective member is then inducted into the club during a regular meeting.
