Russ Oda Day in Hilo
Russ Oda Honored at Junior Achievement Fundraiser
Rotary Club of Hilo member Russ Oda was honored by the Junior Achievement of Hawaii at a fundraiser on Saturday, April 20. Hundreds attended the event where Russ received accolades from Hawaii County Mayor, Billy Kenoi and State Senator, Gil Kahele, who read a proclamation from Governor Abercrombie proclaiming April 20, 2013 as Russ Oda Day.
Russ Oda was installed into the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame earlier in the month in Honolulu and honored by the State Legislature. Russ was born and raised in Hilo and is a noted architect who is responsible for many of the buildings on our island. He has been a member of the Rotary Club of Hilo sine 1966.
