• Purchase your own box ahead of time: If you are signing up for this event, you can order your own box of persimmons ahead of time.

The event is open and free to cultural society members. Space is limited, so registration is necessary at jcsmaui.org. Membership is available at $10 or $20. Go to the same website to become a member.
