Recent Activities:
Pau
Hana at The Shack (Hawai’i
Kai)
We’ve shown we can
have just as much fun at a Saturday Pau Hana as
we do at the traditional Friday ones. Any time a group meets, eats and
shares stories it’s fun! We had a good turnout,
so let’s consider trying it again sometime.
Upcoming Events
Every Monday - TENNIS AT KEEHI LAGOON @
4:30 p.m.
COME JOIN US AT
THE "TASTE OF
HONOLULU" ON JUNE 25
Please join Hawaii Ski Club volunteers for delicious food and drink,
live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, and fun at the 15th annual
Taste of Honolulu on Sunday, June 25.
Volunteers who have already registered for this year's Taste of Honolulu
should expect a letter from Easter Seals in early June informing us of
check-in time. We have signed up to work the Sunday, June 25th morning
shift from 11:00AM until about 4:00PM.
After our shift, volunteers informally gather to eat, socialize, and
enjoy the live entertainment. Other Ski Club members are invited to join
the volunteers to relax and enjoy the festivities. This informal group
will meet near the big black sculpture in the middle of the Honolulu
Hale grounds at about 3:30PM and then proceed to the
music
stage area.
Bring a cell phone if you want to locate other ski club members in the
crowd. Friends and family are invited to join us. Come to party and
support the Taste of Honolulu and Easter Seals Hawaii.

June Pau
Hana: Friday, June 16 at 5:30: Islands Fine
Burgers
&
Drinks,
Ala
Moana Center, Ho’okipa Terrace (4th
level)
A
day at the mall calls for an escape to “Islands”.
Islands Fine Burgers and Drinks, part of Ala Moana
Shopping Center’s recent makeover, is the Hawaii debut of a California
chain that dishes up typical American and Mexi-Cali
fare. Oversized burgers (a little under 8 ounces each), soft tacos and
large salads dominate the menu, countered by a selection of whimsical
and invitingly low-priced mixed drinks—a fail-safe formula for drawing
hungry shoppers and tourists, if ever there was one.
Since opening its first store in West Los Angeles, Islands has grown to
one of the most popular and recognizable restaurants in the Southern
California and
Phoenix,
Arizona markets.
Islands offers a number of top quality,
cooked-to-order, specialty burgers as well as large salads, soft tacos,
chicken sandwiches, appetizers and desserts. Islands
strives to set themselves apart from the competition by never
compromising when it comes to the quality of the food they serve. All
food preparation, such as the peeling and cutting of their famous Island
Fries, is done on a daily basis.
Islands is
located on the Fourth Level of Ho’okipa
Terrace at
Ala
Moana
Center. The
restaurant has a 500 square foot covered lanai, which will blend
Islands’ unique design, indicative of a beachside
tiki hut, with the open air character and South Pacific flair of
Ala
Moana
Center. It also
features a full bar that specializes in tropical drinks where guests can
watch televisions showcasing the latest in surfing, skiing, biking and
other sporting events.
Happy Hour: Mon-Fri,
4pm-7pm ($1-off drinks, half-price appetizers, free chips and salsa)
Recommended:
Moadilla, tacos, tiki
drinks. To contact the restaurant directly call Islands Fine Burgers &
Drinks at (808) 943-6670.
Announcements:
Activities:
The board encourages ALL club members to suggest or host
different activities. If there is something that you would like to do,
we encourage you to inform a board member or to announce it during the
monthly general meeting. Let us know since there are always special
things to do in
Honolulu that we can do as a
club.

Last Ski Run of
2006:

the last ski run of the 2006 winter season (northern hemisphere only – New
Zealand and Chile don’t count!)

“Hawaii Ski Club, 2006, Winter, Last Run”. So far April 20th is
the latest date we are aware of, but if you skied after that, please let the
editor know. We hope to present the mug at the July General Membership
meeting.
