Hui Okika O Kunia, Inc., The Kunia Orchid Society,
meets on the 1st Tuesday of each every month (except in April and December) at 7:00 P.M. at Mililani District Park in Mililani, Hawaii. Each month, we have invited guest speakers or club members sharing their expertise in their areas. There is no general meeting in April and December.
According to our by-laws, the objectives and purpose of the club is: To engage in the promotion of orchid culture, extending the knowledge, production and appreciation of orchids; to acquire and disseminate information relating to orchid culture; and to encourage participation in orchid shows and displays. Meetings include a plant discussion table where members talk about plants that they brought. They also bring in sick plants to be evaluated by the Plant Doctor. Refreshments are served. Sometimes members have extra plants to trade or give away. Work parties prepare and produce the club's show, which is the first orchid display and plant sale to be held in the state every year. We also set up club displays in other shows throughout the year. In December, we enjoy more fellowship with a Christmas party in a restaurant. We have grown to be a big, cozy club of about 130 members.
Membership dues for 2010: $15 per person.
Contact the Kunia Orchid Society at P.O. Box 893956, Mililani, HI 96789-0956 or
kuniaorchid@altavista.com For membership, comments and questions.

We will have a brand-spankin' new website soon. Be on the lookout for the kuniaorchidsociety.org
It will be full of good information for orchid growing and keep you abreast of events in the club.
This present website may remain as a photo album of recent years.
The new website may include images of last year's KOS show. In early 2009, the Leilehua High School gym's floor sustained damage from a flood and could not be used for our show.
But with high spirits and determination, the show went on --with great success!! The school, the club and all attendees benefited, and we are grateful to all who made it happen.
In these trying times, we've come to appreciate the free pleasures in life in the company of those who share them.
Watch out for those complimentary pre-show tickets and help us to celebrate Springtime in Hawaii in 2010!
Hele mai!
