  3. August First Friday Recap: Hawaiian BBQ

    August 10, 2010 by Kristen Byers

    We had a record turn out at the MIIS Hawaiian Barbecue held on Friday, August 6. We hope all who attended enjoyed the company and the food. A special thank you to Rachel Christopherson and Linae Ishii-Devine who kindly provided the decorations, and to Priscilla Lorenzo for the wonderful Hawaiian music. Also, a big thank you to Turf Club Catering, and to everyone who helped with the event — and we had lots of help! We hope that you enjoyed the afternoon and look forward to hosting future events for faculty and staff.

    If you have any ideas or comments you wish to share with the new team, please email us at sat@miis.edu or fill out our handy contact form. We would love to hear from you.
