MAUI ORCHID SOCIETY

December 2010
                           
President’s Message

 

Mele Kalikimaka and Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!


This year’s Installation dinner/ Holiday party was a smashingly good time. I sincerely hope you were able to attend! Many thanks to all the volunteers who made it happen. The decoration team outdid themselves and in record time at that. I think the community center looked as fabulous as I’ve ever seen it. The pupu, dinner and desserts were divine and oh my goodness …the orchids.  It was orchid heaven…   Too many people to thank individually but a special mahalo to the pupu team as well as those much appreciated bodies that stayed to clean up.


Congratulations to Orchidist of the Year, Rose Payba and Volunteer of the Year, Mike Silva. You both are so worthy and embody the very essence of what these annual awards stand for! It was grand to see your talents and contributions acknowledged. You so deserve the honor!
Thank you to the Officers and Board members who are ending their terms. Your service to the club has been an important part of what makes the Maui Orchid Society such a strong community organization. Please join me in offering a huge welcome to our new President , Danny Alionar , President Elect, Bert Akitake, and board members Brayden Leleo and Kathy Jones. Danny brings a wonderful sense of aloha and a lot of new ideas to the presidency and I ask you to support him in his efforts.


As the year ends, I find myself resolving to spend more time with my orchids. It’s a win/win situation as they will better thrive from more attention and I too will benefit from healthy doses of” orchid time”. As my time as president of this marvelous society ends, I plan on directing more energy to my shade house occupants and making up for lost time and care. Next year I intend to have blooming plants to include in all our shows…that’s my resolution for 2011. It’s a fun one! I encourage you to make the same resolution.


I join the board in wishing all of you and your families a most wonderful holiday season and terrific New Year!  May and your orchids thrive.


Much Aloha
Victoria Cheromcka

 

 

   
     

Our marvelous November  guest speaker, Paul Storm, who both educated and entertained us with tales of “Schombo Love”, sent the following message to be shared:


"Paul and Mary Storm of Meke Aloha Orchids wish to thank the membership for bringing them to Maui and for the opportunity to present their program "SCHOMBO-LOVE 101" to the members. The reaction and aloha from Maui AOS members at the meeting was truly overwhelming and memorable.  They can be reached at : mekealoha@comcast.net and their website is: mekealohaorchids.com. Mahalo nui loha!"
