Aloha!

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms are unpredictable. There are some treatments for MS, but no cure.

The Queequeg Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Moai is raising funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society with a custom tiki mug designed by popular sculptor Squid and manufactured by Tiki Farm. Only 200 of this unique, limited edition mug were produced and all proceeds from the sale will be donated to the cause. The original sculpt for the mug was also auctioned for charity.

Sales have been brisk and now only about 30 of these mugs are left!

The mug is a Moai with Maori-style tattoos inspired by those worn by the Moby Dick character, Queequeg. To honor the MS Society the included tattoos symbolize health and life (the sun) and renewal (koru swirls).

Each mug comes with a hand-signed, hand-numbered Certificate of Authenticity and the recipe for the amazing Queequeg's Harpoon cocktail which has been a closely held secret until now. According to Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, author of Sippin' Safari, Grog Log, Intoxica! and Taboo Table, the Queequeg's Harpoon "is like a Nantucket sleigh-ride on the high seas with Ahab at the helm. It's not just a drink, it's an adventure!"

This is the perfect holiday gift that keeps on giving, don't miss out! All sales are online, please go to www.northeasttikitour.com/msmug for more information.

Keep the torches burning,
