We will be joined for lunch and the show by members of The Hawaiian Scottish Association. Afterwards HSA will hold its Annual Meeting in the same room starting at 2 p.m.—twa meetings in ane day. This is an opportunity for the two organizations to sit down together and for Caledonians to talk to the hard-working people responsible for the muckle big Hawaiian Scottish Festival, some of whom are not members of our Society.

All activities will take place in a couthy (pleasant) private room, part of Ka’ikena Lau’ae Dining Room, run by the Culinary Arts Dept, at Kapiolani Community College in Ohelo Building. The campus is at 4303 Diamond Head Road, Honolulu. Expect a gorgeous braw view toward Koko Head from the big dining room windows.

The Lunch:

Create your own deli sandwich from a selection of deli meats. Special kalua pork sliders will be among your choices. Green salad with dressing and pasta salad complete your plate.

Directions and Parking:

Enter KCC from Diamond Head Road or Makapu’u Avenue. Tartan pennants will be taped to posts in the area to guide you. See map for directions to Ohelo Bldg.

Some parking spots for dining patrons are located behind the neighboring Ohia Bldg. Or park in one of the lower lots or Parking Lot E beyond Ohelo building. Because the campus is hilly, a little uphill walking is required past the patio and the decorative fountain up to the dining room entrance at the front of Ohelo building.

Guests with limited walking ability could park in Parking Lot E and walk from there either to the nearest end or to the front of Ohelo Building, which faces inward toward the center of the campus.

The Farmers’ Market:

The weekly Farmers’ Market on the KCC campus starts early in the morning and will, as always, generate a huge crowd and congestion. The market closes at 11 a.m. We are told that traffic on and around the campus should be flowing easily by 10:30 a.m.

The Meeting:

The annual business meeting includes reports from the previous year, election of officers and board members (About half the Council terms expire each year), and a keek (peek) at plans for next year. Please bring program ideas or other suggestions.

All annual memberships are due for renewal at the end of June, so the Treasurer and Membership Secretary will be accepting dues for 2011-2012.
