Folks,
We’ve told you about the silent auction that Blue Planet Foundation is putting together at the next Beer and Business (Tuesday, June 2nd at Hukilau Restaurant). But we haven’t told you about the awesome items being auctioned.
There will be about 15 auction items up for grabs, like entertainment and dinner packages ranging from a picnic at the Contemporary museum to dinner and night at the opera, fine art decorative pieces for the home, and much more.
You can even place your bid on a ride in the all-electric sports car Tesla Roadster with Henk Rogers!
Henk Rogers, local entrepreneur and philanthropist, is one of the founders of Blue Planet Software which is the exclusive licensing agent for Tetris. He is also the founder of Blue Planet Foundation, an organization committed to changing the world’s energy culture and raising clean energy awareness.
All proceeds from the auction will go to clean and renewable energy initiatives, so get your checkbooks ready for a good cause!
See you this Tuesday, June 2nd, at Beer and Business!

We’ve been hard at work making the next Beer and Business event happen and it’s finally right around the corner. We’ve decided to tweak the format slightly this time around which will hopefully make the event more fun and valuable for all.
First off, I want to thank Hawaii Business Magazine. They’ve generously agreed to sponsor the next Beer and Business event. As before, HiBEAM is also sponsoring and making this event possible. Now we’re going to be able to offer a couple of free drinks per guest. A very big thank you to both of them for their support. I especially want to thank Rachel Ogdie, the Executive Director of HiBEAM, for everything she’s done to make Beer and Business possible from day one.
We’re also changing up the format slightly. This time around we’ll have two companies making 5 minute presentations showcasing their experience in Hawaii. So far we have Laurent Scallie, CEO of Atlantis Cyberspace, confirmed. He’ll be talking about his experience in Hawaii running a company that provides the military with virtual combat simulation technology. The second presenting company will be announced shortly.
After presentations we’ll open up the stage for anyone to get up and talk for 60 seconds about anything they want. You got something to say, say it!
This Beer and Business will be downtown at ThirtyNine Hotel (yes, that’s also the address) on Thursday, November 15th, from 530 to 800 pm. Send any questions you have to fun - at - beerandbusiness.com.

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Thank you so much for attending out very first Beer and Business night on the town! We had an absolutely outstanding turnout and were thrilled with the high quality and diversity of people that showed up. Thank you for making our first event so successful.
Because this event was so successful we’ve decided to continue Beer and Business and improve it even more. Right now we’re looking for feedback on how to make our events event better, so please give us feedback on the forums.
We’ll keep you posted on our next event. Thanks a lot for all your support.

Yes, this event is about business and networking and all that stuff. But really it’s about making new friends and discovering common interests (business or otherwise) in a local environment that can seem at once tightly knit yet very distant.
So join us, grab a beer, and prepare to meet some really great people. Casual attitude mandatory.
