Early risers are also welcome to eat for a good cause at a Scones Fundraiser for Aloha United Way, taking place 5 to 10 a.m. at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani.
Head baker Mary Allum, a British expat who is director of housekeeping for the Moana Surfrider and Princess Kaiulani, will be sharing her traditional family scone recipe, baking 3,000 scones to raise money for the local charitable organization.
Sweet cinnamon scones and savory cheese scones are expected to be out of the oven by 8 a.m., and available until they run out. The aim is to raise $15,000 for Aloha United Way. Do the math.

The biggest dine out for a cause event is Restaurant Week, coming up Nov. 16 to 22, during which restaurants — large and small — will offer prix fixe and specialty meals at a discount from their regular prices to encourage people to try new spots and to raise funds for the expansion of Kapiolani Community College’s culinary arts program.
Visit the restaurantweekhawaii.com Web site for all the details on participants and their special menus and make your reservations before your favorite restaurant is sold out.
I already grabbed some lunch slots, though my dinner plans are pending.
