Aloha Hawaii Gourd Society members, friends, and supporters!

We are planning a Gourd Gathering on Jan. 27th, 11-2, at the new HGS headquarters in Holualoa.

Look for us at 76-5902 Mamalahoa Hwy (Aloha Sweets & Treats) , directly makai of the HoluaKoa Cafe'.

Bring something to transport ipu kekis home to your garden in...
Please bring something for a pot-luck lunch...oh yes, .and, something to sit on...chair, stool, cooler.

This will be an organizational meeting to assist us in preparing for our Gourds in Paradise Festival. Please plan to attend and give us your input. We will also begin getting our classes filled for the festival, as we have some of the very best Gourd Artists in the world coming to join us, support our society, and teach classes.

Response from the mainland has been terrific for our upcoming Festival...B&B owners, if you have rooms available for the festival weekend, let me know right away.

A special web site has been set up for us www.ipushow.com ...if you want to add any type of pertinent information to that site, bring it to the meeting or e-mail me anytime. We will get it posted for you.

We are planning a trip to the Bishop Museum, Oahu (as the HGS group) for June 18th or 19th. More on exact date later, but we do need to know if you are interested in joining that special tour.

Please be sure to renew your membership with the American Gourd Society for 2007...the membership includes the wonderful Gourd Magazine, published quarterly. Go to www.ags.com to renew. Our own, Hawaii Gourd Society membership renewal is not until June 1st. We will be having a membership drive at our Festival.

We hope to see you on Jan. 27th and look forward to a really fun and constructive Ipu day!

Be well and remember to hug your ipu today!

Mary
HGS President
