Sorry for the flurry of e-mails but we will need to select a venue quickly.  Once we do you will see the volume of e-mails dramatically drop off.  As I mentioned earlier, Japanese Cultural Center and Hale Koa are not available on Saturday.  That leaves the following alternative venues besides Koolau:

(1)    Filipino Community Center

(2)    Ala Wai Clubhouse

(3)    Coast Guard Clubhouse

(4)    Camp Smith Clubhouse

(5)    Oahu Country Club

 

Unless anyone objects, I am striking off Ala Wai, Coast Guard, and Camp Smith clubhouses because they do not meet our criteria for the banquet.

 

I contacted the Filipino Community Center and they are available.  Juny: Can you provide input on the suitability of this venue and if they meet our budgetary constraints?

 

I also contacted the Oahu Country Club.  The dining room is available and can hold up to 275.  The room, however, is L-shaped but workable.  Cost per person is $33.69 (includes service charge and tax).  We need to find a sponsor but I don't think that will be a problem.  They have a piano but we need to bring our own extension cords.  Incidental costs (screen, mic,stage, etc.) total $55 so we may be able to keep our cost below $35 per person.

 

Looks like we now have two, maybe three, viable options to choose from.  Your comments are appreciated.

Westley,

 

I researched some of the locations that Juny recommended when I chaired or worked on the Banquet committee four out of the last five years.  Comments are adjacent to his list.  If you want to consider the others, I would suggest adding members to your committee to research those locations because it is a lot of work and time to research all of the places mentioned.

Westley,

 

How about considering the following venues:

 

1)  Japanese Cultural Center

2)  Filipino Community Center (Waipahu)

3)  On the Deck of the U.S.S. Missouri  -- TOO EXPENSIVE, FUNCTIONS THERE ARE TYPICALLY FUNDRAISERS

4)  Ala Wai  Clubhouse (City & County of Honolulu)

5)  Coast Guard Clubhouse (Sand Island)

6)  Camp Smith Clubhouse (Aiea)

7)  Paradise Park (Manoa)  -- MAY NOT MEET BANQUET ROOM CRITERIA FOR ENG WK BQT

8)  Oahu Country Club (Pali Highway)

9)  The Willows (Near U.H.M.)  -- INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY 

10) Kahala Mandarin (Kahala)  -- TOO EXPENSIVE 

11) Hale Koa Hotel (Waikiki)  -- ADEQUATE BUT ALREADY HAVE ENG WK LUNCHEON THERE 

 

There are plenty around town and all that needs to be done is check these venues out.

 

Juny
