LDEI Hawaiʻi is 25 years old this year! Our chapter began when food editor Joan Namkoong gathered a group of successful culinary-minded women together on Oʻahu. We will celebrate this milestone anniversary and Joan with a Founder’s Lunch on June 21st at The Pig and the Lady in Chinatown. We are tracking down former Dames from all 25 years to invite, so if you know one, send her a link to this event and let her know the secret password to purchase a ticket!

We’ll share lunch and stories from our history, catch up with friends and celebrate how far we have come in 25 years. Please join us for this Dames-only (past and present) event. Seats are limited, so don’t delay!

Champagne toast, lunch, tax and gratuity included.
