I'd like to ask you for a huge favor that will allow me to do my job for you - please RSVP for lunches AT LEAST two-weeks in advance. As we are transitioning to hold many of our meeting at the Pacific Club beginning in January, they require a headcount no less than two-weeks prior to our scheduled meeting.
This week, for Dec. 10th we are meeting at The Outrigger Canoe Club!
Monday, December 23rd, we will meet at the Pacific Cub for our Holiday Lunch Party! Seating will be limited, and you know you want to join us! They require we give minimum two-weeks' notice on numbers, so please keep watch for when we can open registration!

DEC 10:Hybrid Lunch Meeting
with Guest Speaker, Chris Bailey
CHRIS BAILEY
Wahiawā Value-Added Product Development Center
Chris is the manager of a new 33,000-square-foot manufacturing and teaching facility aims to help entrepreneurs develop marketable food products. Chris understands the value of food, in part from growing up while his mother and aunt ran a Thai restaurant in Waipahu. And he spent time working in the industry in Portland while studying business at Lewis & Clark College, and after. He understands the impact that is made when more value is added to the food that Hawai‘i’s farmers produce.
The Center had education for entrepreneurs, assists farmers when their crops are abundant or don't meet the criteria for distribution. Additionally, per Chris, the center includes equipment for manufacturing that startups otherwise could not easily access. This also includes food-processing and packaging spaces, refrigerated storage and a high-pressure processing system that preserves taste and color while creating products with longer shelf lives.
