Sony Open dinner with Kenny Loggins

The Paubox team and a few of our early investors attended the Sony Open in Hawaii dinner with Kenny Loggins last night. 

What's happening: The Paubox table of ten was among 100 other tables at the Sony Open dinner, which was held at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center. Governor Green and Mayor Blangiardi were also in attendance.

Randy Hiraki (President, Commercial Plumbing) suggested we buy table for the dinner, rather than settle with the four tickets that came with our sponsorship package. Mahalo Randy for the advice.
