Cooking and selling huli-huli chicken used to be a popular way for organizations to raise money. Costco rotisserie chicken has pretty much brought an end to that Hawaiian tradition. Our group was trying to figure out a fund-raiser. I suggested huli-huli chicken but was reminded of this small detail. Looks like we're going to raise funds by having a bowling event. In the past we made $1200 or so. The guy that's organizing the event says that's small potatoes and the potential to make a lot of money is there - that's encouraging.
