Bula Bula everyone.
Ive seen alot of discussion on the topic of how to save tiki establishments. Thats cool, at least you are talking about it.

Ive done alot of research and thinking about the right place to start with this museum project. Remember that the original plan is to have a comprehensive plan for a museum in one year. so i don't want to get ahead of myself by trying to do things that I haven't learned yet.

this is what I think the plan should be:
-Research grant money for myself to get started
-establish a non profit
-create a Polynesia Americana web site - this will act as an online museum where collections, information, and programs can be organized and a place for traveling exhibits to be launched from
-create traveling exhibits to tour existing established museums and a more formal level of education about the subject

these steps will create awareness for the subject of poly pop in the right way and will give it a level of legitimacy that will create much larger financial support for an actual museum.

The web site will also provide a place for board members to make decisions about direction.
Today I checked into doing a practicum about a traveling poly pop exhibit. I have also spoken with Mimi and Otto about being board members. The're in, I would like to communicate with the other nominees to see how you feel abot all of this. Please pm me.
Dawn
