Pacific’O Restaurant is presenting a movie night featuring the independently produced film Ingredients on Saturday, November 20.

Director Robert Bates will be on hand to schmooze and answer any questions. This is also a chance to help with the funding of their next production, as a portion of the proceeds will go to the making of Ingredients Hawai’i.

Food and drinks begin at 6:00 p.m. and the movie starts at 7:30 p.m. Cost is $50 per person.

Come for a fun night on the beach under the stars with good food, drinks and a great flick about the food crisis in America.

Committees Drive Our Organization

Flatbread - Paia

Penguini - Paia

Slow Food Maui and it’s prospective members got the “royal treatment” last evening as Flatbread in Paia hosted our group around the large community table which brought together a pool of wonderfully talented individuals that will help populate our various committees.  The group dined on salads, a variety of brick oven pizzas , courtesy of Jenna of Flatbread, and decadent desserts of gelato and cupcakes, courtesy of Melissa of Penguini in Paia.

A point echoed throughout the meeting was that the committees will be the driving force behind the organization and will lead our group out into the Maui community.

Our committees are:

Education Committee: Charlene Kauhane

Chef/Restaurant Committee: Shannon Wianecki

Endorsements Committee: Tova Callender

Farm/Ag Committee: Becky Speere
