Andy's Molokai Sweetbread - on Sale at AOC show!

Each year, Andy and his family gives the club generous donations of Molokai Sweetbread and cookies from their bakery to sell at the show.  The sale of the bread and cookies generates substantial amount, which subsequently we can donate to Aiea Elementary School. This year, they are doing it again for us!  Look for the bread stand at the show, and grab some before we run out!!
(The picture is and example of half-eaten (sorry, my fault) bag of dinner rolls and the big one we froze to save for later date to enjoy)
Much Thank You to Andy and Family!

May 2013 Monthly Meeting - Silent Auction!

Thank you for the committee and helpers!  Another great fun!

Too busy helping the auction (and putting bids) that we forgot to take pictures.

But here's some purchases....

Some flowers in the house....

Kitchen supply inventory count at Unno-san's on Sunday.  Mangos from his yard tree.

Came home from the meeting was greeted by a grouchy bird...

Mel lectures about tweezers to pull weeds from pots but this tweezers were hard to find.... or I couldn't find anywhere I looked.  So consulting Mel, he spared one of his brand new spare.  Psyched!  

Yeah!
