The success of Ohana Luau at the Lake 2009, and especially our sponsors, supporters, and attendees, have allowed our continued support of The Easter Island Foundation, which promotes conservation and protection of the fragile cultural heritage of Easter Island and other Polynesian islands. The donation to the foundation will fund a Fraternal Order of Moai scholarship and youth programs on the island of Rapa Nui. To read more go to http://www.fraternalorderofmoai.org/news Many Tiki Centralites donated their talents & art to these efforts, and for that we'd like to thank you for helping to make this all possible!

If all goes according to plan, about this time next week you can actually go to their site and learn more and maybe you'll even make a donation yourself.

Hanging with so many great folks at a cool place like the Tiki Resort was well worth the trip. Knowing that all of that fun also benefitted a great cause is a most excellent cherry on top! Well done everybody!

Festiki in August is just up the road in Dayton and of course Ohana at the Tiki Resort on Lake George will be awesome this year since we've moved it to June.

And it remained down for almost all of January. I am very happy to say that The Easter Island Foundation has now launched their new & more user-friendly website - as of yesterday. They're still making some modifications & updates, but it's looking pretty good! Check the EIF & the good works they do HERE: http://www.islandheritage.org Please Help the FOM continue our growing support of The Easter Island Foundation by joining us at Ohana Luau at the Lake 2010 - June 25-27!!! http://www.LuauAtTheLake.com/id1.html

Joined: Jul 13, 2004 Posts: 2277	CAA Chip and Andy Posted posted on Wed, Apr 28, 2010 4:56 AM Thank you to everyone who participated in the Ohana Silent Auction last year, donators and buyers both! The Silent Auction generated the lions share of what FOM was able to donate to the E.I.F last year. This year Ohana will have even more great stuff available so I want to throw out a challenge to everyone attending...... Lets do the PBS Pledge Drive kind of thing, minus the annoying talking people that interrupt the show, and see if we can raise $5,000. There will be more people at the event, more great stuff available, it should be easy! Friends, Family, Food, Fun, and some more words beginning with F that it is too early in the moring for me to come up with to keep the alliteration going, You don't want to miss this years event! PS - Tikipugs: What was in the Mystery Box you guys one last year? That box went all over the place to collect its contents and the only person who knew what was inside was the last person to handle it before you.
