I'll be there for sure... I don't know Marie well, but I'll never forget she's the person who made me my very first authentic Mai Tai and Lapu Lapu at Buster's Beach House! And boy, were they good! :wink: I'll be donating one of my polynesian handbags for the fund raiser. Thanks Jeff, Chris and Karen for organizing!

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...... |

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? |
