Annual Holiday Party &
Silent Auction Information
The Cornell Club of Hawai'i and Cornell Hotel Society
Hawai‘i Chapter host an annual Holiday Party that includes
a gift exchange and a silent auction. Cornellians from around the
islands (and on route to various destinations in the continental
U.S. and abroad) participate in the event. The event this year was
a tremendous success and was held on Friday, December 13, 2002 at
the Waikiki Beach Marriott Hotel from 6:00 to 8:30pm and included
no-host cocktails, providing alumni, family and friends with an
opportunity to catch up with one another and introduce themselves
to newcomers, a lovely buffet dinner, the excitement of the gift
exchange and a silent auction with an array of Cornell memorabilla
and donated items to bid on. Additionally, Peter Lee '63, the
Director of the Western Regional Office for CU Alumni Affairs and
Development graced the club with his presence and provided alumni
with a much needed update on Cornell University and alumni activities.
Below are some photos from the event.
