Newsletter:

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Adventurers:
Once again Lowell has assembled a fascinating group of speakers
and Ralph has arranged meetings
at the old favorite, the Outrigger Canoe Club, and at what may
become a new favorite, that’s
right, Zippy’s. I’ll bet
you didn’t know that Zioppy’s
has a meeting room!
The first three talks
will cover Hawaii’s business
history, the summary
is fascinating, the Australian aborigines, then and now, and the early search for pandas. And for the Christmas gathering, Donna
will once again organize her traditional and always popular members-only photo contest.
Again,
I’d like to thank Lowell and Ralph for their efforts and I look forward to
seeing you at up-coming meetings. Aloha, Bob Liljestrand, President.
ABOUT OUR NEW VENUE - ZIPPY'S VINEYARD: …We are aware that the past
meetings at Wailana Coffee House were challenging, with a small meeting space
and limited parking. We will be trying a new venue which should
eliminate both those problems and still provide good food at reasonable prices
– Zippy’s on Vineyard, near downtown
(59 N. Vineyard Blvd, at Maunakea Street).
It has a large private meeting space and plentiful free parking, as well as a large menu and good bar
service. Plus, they are very pleased to have us there! We look forward to
meeting there along with other popular venues.
Reminder:
For each meeting, once you have
called in your RSVP and given your entrée choice, it is NOT possible to change
it later, including the evening of the program. The entrée
selection counts are called in to the restaurant following the RSVP deadline
and they prepare only that number of each entree. This
ensures faster and easier service and is part of the agreement we make with the
restaurant, so PLEASE KOKUA!

October 20, 2016: A Panda Named Su-Lin
Outrigger Canoe Club...............................................
By Member: Jolly Young King.................................
The Young family was intimately involved with the discovery and capture of giant pandas and rare pheasants. Starting with the Roosevelt Expedition in the late 1920s, the Youngs were instrumental in bringing the first pandas to the U.S., and several of their acquisitions are displayed at the Field Museum, Smithsonian, Museum of Natural History, Brookfield, Bronx and Houston Zoos, Chengdu Breeding Center as well as numerous private collections. Although naturalists and big game hunters in the1920s-1930s were male Caucasians (Great White Hunters), the Young Family is Chinese, hails from Maui and the Big Island, and included one individual who is recognized as the first American woman explorer of the Himalayas, Adelaide ‘Su- Lin’ Young. This was not a time of roads, cars, bridges, mail, and light-weight equipment. You bartered for or killed what you ate; you packed in your essentials; you were armed against bandits and you trekked for months. Accompanied by expe- dition photos – many from glass slides – the presentation covers aspects of Su-Lin’s accomplishments – why she was hon- ored with having the first live panda in captivity – as well as the San Diego Zoo’s 2005 baby panda - named after her, and recognized as 1 of 3 explorers that opened the East to the West: Marco Polo, Pere David, Su-Lin Young. In 1984 and 2002, Jolly Young King retraced the paths of the original panda expeditions assisting in the research of two books: Chasing the Panda and Lady and the Panda. But, unlike the original expeditions, her treks were not on foot but by 4-wheel drive vehi- cle. She has been a member of the Adventurers’ Club since 2014.
Menu:
Cobb Salad: Chopped Crisp Greens, Tomato, Turkey, Egg, Avocado, Bacon = $20
Beef Stew: Classic Beef Stew, Sweet Potato Crisp, Steamed Rice = $22
Mahi Mahi: Traditional preparation, spring vegetables, toasted almonds = $261/2 Mahi Mahi: Traditional preparation, spring vegetables, toasted almonds = $23

September 15, 2016: Adventurers in Hawai`i’s Business History
| ||
By Guest: Bob Sigall
| ||
Do you know...
Why Tripler Army Medical Center came to be painted pink? Which bank was founded with a parade of gold coins through downtown Honolulu? Why the restaurant chain (and this month's meeting venue) was named Zippy's? If not, Bob Sigall will tell us, along with enlightening and entertaining us with many more interesting stories and little-known details about Hawaii’s businesses, people, places and events, from the days of the Monarchy to the present. Bob is Hawaii’s “business historian.” He is the author of “The Companies We Keep,” now in its fourth volume, and also writes a popular weekly column for the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, ”Rearview Mirror.” If you thought you knew about Hawai`i, you’ll be amazed at what you didn’t know! Don’t miss this fascinating presenta- tion! Besides being an accomplished writer, Bob is a life-long entrepreneur, a business consultant, and teaches marketing and management at Hawaii Pacific University.
