Kona Hiking Club's Annual New Year's Day Potluck 2012

Aloha! All past, present, and potential future hikers, their spouses, etc. are invited to attend the Kona Hiking Club's annual New Year's Day potluck brunch.  Bring your favorite dishes.  We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

WHEN/WHERE:

Sunday, 1/1/12, at the Old Kona Airport Park, Pavilion #1.  For those who want to start the New Year with a little exercise, the optional beach wander to Pawai Bay begins promptly at 9 a.m.  We plan to be back at the pavilion at 10:00.  Bring appropriate closed toe shoes for the hike.  This is a great place to snorkel, so consider allowing time to hike back after lunch for some snorkeling.

POTLUCK ITEMS:

At 10 a.m., the food and drink will begin in earnest (assuming that the non-walkers haven't consumed it all while we're gone).  Please bring a pupu or breakfast or lunch dish to share.

AND DON’T FORGET TO BRING:

Your beverage of choice in whatever quantity you plan to drink.  Alcohol is permitted.

A serving spoon/fork for your potluck item.

We can always use a few extra table cloths to cover the picnic tables.

You may want to bring a folding chair, as seating at the picnic tables may be in short supply.

The Club leaders will provide paper plates, plasticware, cups, and napkins.

HELP US OUT:

We'll again be having a suggestion box, so why not give some thought in advance as to what you'd like to see YOUR Club do next year?  If you've told us about a particular hike you want to do, we may have forgotten it (especially if you told us on the trail and we didn't write it down).  Also, if you have any ideas about how we do things that you'd like us to think about, please let us hear them -- we even encourage constructive criticism!

A hui hou,

Kathleen
