Results are 1/2 in!!!! I am still waiting on a few checks to clear and a few donors are still sending $$, but I know people are waiting to know how much we raised for Marie.....Well........

OVER $13,600!!!!! And that DOES NOT include the portion of the proceeds that Don the Beachcomber will be donating!!!

We still have a few event posters. I will be getting those out next week...I have to get the tubes for mailing and figure that into the shipping and handling...It won't be much, but I don't want to ruin any posters!

THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL THE MUSICIANS, ARTISTS, VOLUNTEERS, DON'S, and YOU, the SUPPORTERS AND FRIENDS OF MARIE!!!

Marie is a Very Special Person and Friend..let's show her The Ohana Spirit though this event. :)

Awesome way to show Marie how much she means to everyone. Thanks for undertaking this task...I'm sure it's going to turn out great for everyone. I'll be there spending as much money as I can!

Cuss, fuss, and boogie all night long!

I'm there !

I'd like to donate a potted plumeria to the cause. Email has been sent Karen!

When I think of people that are true patrons of the local socal tiki music scene, names like Marie, Jonpaul and big tiki dude are the first people I think of.

I am honored to be part of this event!

Great! It is great to see people come together so quickly for such a good cause (and person).

I will keep my eye out!

A big BRAVO to those putting this together and laying down the music all day to support Marie. What a cool thing to do. Get stronger every day, Marie! May the pain dissipate with each passing hour.

-Andy & Deb

Great job Tiki Family, organizing for a friend! I'm gonna make a black velvet for the auction. Get better Marie!

Liz,
there is also going to be an event at Forbidden Island in Nor. Cal. this coming thurs. I believe. Keep an eye out for an official post in Ca. Events.

I think it would be cool, if there were events at tiki bars everywhere that were tied into this event/cause.

Thanks to everybody stepping up and donating stuff, and or saying that you will be making the event to support.

Pre-sale will start early this week! We will have a banner here on T.C. with an option to pay online. As far as how many "peeps" we can fit in Don the Beachcomber, well, Art assures me that the capacity is near 600!!! 10 hours of Surf, Hawaiian, and Exotica music and more!!!

News: The raffle winners "NEED NOT BE PRESENT" meaning that if you come early and buy raffle tickets and can't stay all day, then if you win you will be notified (as long as you put your phone number on the back)!!! There WILL BE a special "MUST BE PRESENT" drawing for a few special prizes as well!

Also, the wristbands will allow you "In & Out" privileges all day AND give you discounts on food and beverages at Don the Beachcomber all day!!!

And, I have been receiving great response from ohana wanting to volunteer for the event. Mahalo mahalo! Keep it coming......

That is great news, this is gonna be huge.

Chris, can you post the link to the Facebook event again?

Jeff(btd)

Hey guys - just to let you know that I will be donating a painting for the silent auction, but I can't post a pic, cause I haven't started painting it yet!! I'll get right on this right-away.

I probably will not be able to attend the event too. Always a chance but it looks unlikely.

What is a good plan to ensure my submission makes it to Dons on that day?

i echo G's sentiment...
How do we get our art donations to y'alls
if we can't make it to the actual event?
please advise...
:)

Tiki G,
I know that Kelly is comin to the big event,
you could always get the art to her, and have her bring it.
