Imu will benefit school
The Kailua High School athletic program plans to spend a weekend tending an imu and is offering space inside for trays of food.
Food goes into the underground oven Nov. 26, emerging Thanksgiving morning steamed full of luau flavor.
Cost is $25 per large aluminum tray. Food — such as whole turkeys, roasts or pork butt (meat chunks should have three deep cuts in them), sweet potatoes, taro or luau leaves — must be thawed, seasoned and well wrapped in foil.
Place the wrapped food in the pan and wrap everything in more foil. Write your name on the final foil wrap with a permanent marker pen. Weight limit per tray is 25 pounds.
Reservations due by Nov. 14. Make checks payable to Kailua High School and send to the school at 451 Ulumanu Drive, Kailua 96734. Write "Attention IMU" in lower left corner of the envelope.
Include your name, telephone number and a self-addressed, stamped envelope so a confirmation ticket can be sent to you. To be included in a list for future imu, provide email address as well.
Call 266-7910 or 728-7389.
