Aloha!

Everyone here at the Ipu Ki News Hut is very excited! Why? For two reasons.

First, Ohana Luau at the Lake 2010 begins one month from now and along with our other generous sponsors we're very happy to welcome back a group of sponsors that have supported a number of our past events including Festiki, the Northeast Tiki Tour, the Hot Rod Hula Hop, and the first Ohana Luau at the Lake of course.

Trader Vic's has supported Fraternal Order of Moai events for a number of years and helped to begin the tradition of auctioning mystery bowls for charity by donating a number of drink bowls at Hot Rod Hula Hop IV. They have also been very generous with items for the charity silent auction and gifts for event attendees in the past. So get your bidding card ready and look for some other surprises from Trader Vic's during the weekend.

Kahiki Foods is bringing their restaurant quality frozen foods to Lake George for the Luau at the Lake. Look for free Kahiki snacks during the weekend, including during the room crawl in the Paradise Lounge. Different items will be served all weekend so try them all. Heck, why wait for June? Find some in your grocer's freezer and try them now.

Tiki Magazine is back with us again. You may even be joining us in Lake George because you saw an ad for the event in the magazine. Fans of Tiki Magazine like to take pictures with a recent issue all over the world and you can too. Don't have a subscription? Don't worry, you can buy a copy of the new Summer issue at Ohana Luau at the Lake 2010.

KegWorks joins us again with gifts for attendees and a huge online store full of professional draft beer equipment, bartending tools, premium cocktail ingredients and commercial bar supplies.

Second... remember we said we had two reasons... we are excited by this video and we think you will be too.

See you at the lake!
