I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I’ll never see a tree at all.

"The Outdoor Circle, changed the face of Hawaii forever. This book tells the dramatic and fascinating story of this women’s club for the first time. Founded in 1911, the organization has been dedicated for eighty years to the preservation and enhancement of the islands."   "[The Outdoor Circle’s] main activities were to make Hawaii beautiful; to plant trees, clean up eyesores, preserve nature, and rid the islands of billboards. To achieve these goals, the women had to become consummate politicians and lobbyists and learn how to run grassroots boycotts and publicity and educational campaigns, and how to form long-lasting coalitions. Above all, as . . . [this book] . . . shows, they insisted that their female vision, their woman-centered view, became an accepted part of the public discourse." – Excerpt from the Editor’s (Gerda Lerner) Introduction
At 110 years, this organization flourishes in its challenge to maintain its age-old values in a modern ever-growing Hawaii. The Honolulu area abounds with testimonials to changes imposed through the years and today, more essential than ever to the beauty of the city.
HIGH TEA AT HALEKULANI is the first history published about the Outdoor Circle of Hawaii, filled with historical photos; this extensive biography of the endeavors embarked upon by a handful of ladies in 1911 is nothing short of remarkable. New in Dust Jacket, this book would make an excellent addition to an Island collection, perfect for gift giving.
