Forever Living Products International, LLC, a world-renowned provider of high-quality aloe vera wellness products, will hold its first-ever Global Rally in Waikiki from April 21-29, 2013. The rally will draw more than 4,000 attendees from over 50 countries to the Hilton Hawaiian Village and Hawai‘i Convention Center for activities and meetings, and will feature free public workshops on the company, its products, and business opportunities.

“Our inaugural Global Rally will consolidate all of our regional rallies from around the world into one major event in Waikiki,” said Carl Zander, senior vice president of U.S. sales for Forever Living. “Hawaii represents an ideal international meeting destination that gives our distributors the opportunity to rub shoulders with the best in the business and take advantage of a destination with exciting activities.”

McDonald’s Restaurants of Hawaii presented a check today for $31,965 to the participating robotics teams at this year’s FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in Hawaii Regional Robotics Competition.

“On behalf of all of the robotics teams in this year’s FIRST in Hawaii Regional Robotics Competition, we would like to thank McDonald’s for its support of Hawaii robotics,” said Corrie Heck, executive director, Friends of Hawaii Robotics. “McDonald’s partnership with Hawaii robotics directly contributes to the growth of our next generation of young leaders.”
