Aloha,

Four Fellow Moai have received the blue fez during a ritual held during The Hukilau in Fort Lauderdale last month.

Only certain Moai are called upon to wear the blue F.O.M. fez. They are Honui Moai, considered a person worthy of respect and of authority. It is kapu, forbidden, for anyone else to wear the fez.

The ritual is the final step on the path before a Fellow takes their place among the Honui Moai.

The staff at Ipu Ki are pleased to present a laurel and hearty handshake to our newest Honui:

Hula Zombie (Kon-Tiki Chapter)
Pappy the Sailor (Queequeg Chapter)
Waikiki Kitty (Kokoru Chapter)
Zulu Magoo (Tungane)

Keep the torches burning,

—Tagata Maori Rogorogo
