GO HAWAI’I

Who wants to go to Hawai’i !

Everyone in the world wants to go to Hawai’i and for a million different reasons.

Just to give you one, did you know that there is actually a law in Hawai’i called "The Aloha Spirit"?  The law declares that it is the coordination of mind and heart within each person and each person must think and emote good feelings to others. 

The term aloha derives from Proto-Polynesia and translates to “Breath of Life.” 

Let’s invite all Chaîne members to enjoy the Spirit of Aloha and the breath of life in Paradise at the 2024 Grand Chapitre.

Top five reasons why everyone wants to visit Hawai’i 

1. Hawaii’s beaches are some of the most spectacular in the world. With its sweeping sandy beaches, warm clear waters and year-round tropical sunshine, Hawaii's climate is beach-perfect all year round. There is nothing more enjoyable than warm sunny days with our gentle island trade winds. 

2. Breathtaking Views. It’s impossible to count how many stunning viewpoints exist amongst the Hawaii islands.  Our members will capture beautiful memories while capturing Hawaii’s natural beauty at sunrise and sunset providing postcard-perfect moments.

3. Rich History.  Hawaii has an interesting history. The Polynesians first arrived in Hawaii over 1,500 years ago! Historic landmarks across the islands highlight the global influences that have molded Hawaii into the state it is today.    Our members will want to pay their respects as they visit Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona, the Battleship Missouri. See Hickam Air Force Base (renamed Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam), Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter, Bellows Air Force Station. Veterans can golf at Kaneohe Marine Base as well as dozens more golf courses.

4. Hawaii’s diverse multicultural community is alive and well in our food, music, the arts, and the aloha spirit.  Hawaiian cuisine reflects the many nationalities who have settled in the island in years past: Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, and Polynesian. The result is a melting pot of mouth-watering dishes centered around fresh ingredients. 

5. Hawaii offers world class shopping with haute couture boutiques like Chanel, Hermes, Versace and many more.  But it is the local shopping that many enjoy. Things like locally crafted jewelry, lei necklaces, koa wood carvings, and of course a classic Hawaiian shirt are great ways to bring your Hawaiian memories back home. Travelers also enjoy picking up some locally produced products such as Kona coffee, coconut oil, and macadamia nuts- they don’t taste the same as those grown on the mainland!

Top 5 Reasons why Hawaii is the perfect destination for the 2025 Grand Chapitre 

1. We have a group of highly motivated, experienced, and passionate members who will ensure that the 2025 Grand Chapitre offers simple flavors of Hawai’i and also the extravagant and decadent events.

2. Our members will enjoy fun in the sun experiences like playing beach volleyball, snorkeling in crystal clear waters, surfing the waves, paddle boarding, hiking, walking, and SCUBA. Or they can simply soak up the sun in a beach-side hammock.  Relax at the beach or partake in the many tours, excursions, and activities available throughout the island. For example, take a trip to the North Shore and experience Waimea Bay and Pipeline with stops at the Food Trucks for garlic shrimp and Shave Ice.

3. The Hawaii/Pacific Islands Province of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs has bailliages on the Big Island, Maui, Kauai, and two on our host island Oahu: the Honolulu Bailliage and the Oahu Bailliage. Our professional members include hoteliers, chefs, F&B directors, wine purveyors, and sommeliers, all of whom are eager to create an amazing experience. Just the possibility of a Grand Chapitre Hawaii 2025 has already created excitement and enthusiasm amongst our officers, past and present.  

4. Our members will delight in curated events designed to highlight Hawai’i’s unique culture and history as they enjoy a traditional luau complete with Hawaiian food, lei making and hula dancers.

5. From the traditional luau, we’ll invite our members to experience the finest in dining with our most talented restaurateurs and chefs. French, Japanese, Italian and Asian fusion will titillate even the most sophisticated palate.

Other things to consider:

1. The last Grand Chapitre held in Hawaii was 25 years ago and was well attended and very memorable.

2. Hawai’i is a serviced by every major airline with direct flights from all major US cities including Boston, NY, Washington DC, Atlanta, the Midwest and the West Coast.

3. A wide array of Waikiki Resorts and hotels include all major national brands and a broad range of prices. Waikiki has available a Military hotel for active duty and retired military servicemen at very reasonable prices.

4. Multi-Island experiences are possible with Bailliages on Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island

5. A Grand Chapitre Hawaii 2025 would drive membership throughout all the islands

6. The Grand Chapitre Hawai’i would attract members from the Asian Bailliages if properly presented

Hawai’i 2025 Grand Chapitre will be unforgettable
