Taste of Hawaii June 5

May 31, 2011 By Our Best of Kauai Leave a Comment

Taste of Hawaii – the Ultimate Sunday Brunch – is an annual fund raising event for the Kauai community that Ray and I enjoy attending every year. The folks at the Rotary Club of Kapa’a work really hard at planning and producing this event. Thanks to the generosity of the chefs, beverage companies and musicians who donate their services and product, you definitely get your money’s worth attending this upscale, delicious, festive event. June 5, 2011 is the 23rd year for this popular happening.

The Rotary Club of Kapa’a is a volunteer, non-profit group of business people dedicated to the motto “Service Above Self.” Net proceeds from Taste of Hawaii goes to help worthy non-profit groups and to fund scholarships for high school and community college students. A portion of the money collected goes abroad where, working in partnership with Rotary clubs in Third World countries, they help fund basic necessities of life such as water wells to provide clean drinking water and toilet and hand-washing stations for rural schools.

Taste of Hawaii has been voted the best community event several years running by The Garden Island readers. You may wonder why it is called Taste of Hawaii and not Taste of Kauai. It is because 40+ of Hawaii’s best chefs, 15+ beverage stations (beer, fine wines, water, soft drinks, coffee and specialty coffee drinks and smoothies) 10+ music groups.
