*** Haleakalā Chapter's 94th Consecutive Meeting***
HAIKU COMMUNITY CENTER
Doors Open 5:30 PM • Opening Circle 6:00 PM
 

Aloha Kākou,

Our next meeting is Tuesday, June 26th and we will be back at the Hã‘iku Community Center. Doors open at 5:30. We will be starting promptly at 6pm.

Last month we had a great discussion of the Hukilike No Maui proposal for the A&B lands and we’re going to be following that up with more information this month. There are a series of issues here that deeply affect Maui farmers and it’s important that we remain involved.

This month’s speakers will include Theodor Carlat who was born in Montana as a sixth-generation farmer and trained in Australia under Alex Podolinsky – a pioneer in the biodynamic movement. Theodor will talk about biodynamic and sustainable farming practices.

Then we will salute our 2018 graduating class of the Farm Apprentice Mentorship. Our past president, Dr. Phyllis Robinson, will introduce the grads, several of whom will present their projects.

Here’s the full agenda:

  • 6:00p- Blessing & Dinner (sign-up for open mic (10 people, 1 min max)
  • 6:45p- Open Mic
  • 7:00p- President’s update on the A&B lands
  • 7:10p- Theodor Carlat
  • 7:30p- FAM Presentations
  • 8:15p- Pau & Cleanup

Please remember to bring your potluck dish. Entrée’s are encouraged.

This month’s meeting should be a great one. I look forward to seeing all of you there.

Mãhalo Nui Loa,








John Dobovan

Haleakalã Chapter President

As always, this meeting is a locavore potluck, and we appreciate you bringing enough food for yourself and some to share, or making a generous contribution so your chapter can continue populating the amazing food table we are known for.

We want you to bring your farm fresh goodies, cuttings and seeds to swap at the produce swap table, the more we all bring, the more abundance there will be at our meetings, and the better our personal inventories of plant cultivars on our farms will be as well.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Look for the suggestion box by the door when you enter the meeting and let us know what you'd like to see happening at our meetings. Please think about topics you'd like to explore in breakout sessions at future meetings, write them down and let us know.

Mahalo to all of you for supporting this organization. We are the change we are waiting for. Let’s keep working together to make Maui the agriculture paradise it will be.
