One of the most anticipated and coveted invitations of the Hilo Social Season goes out this week by private messenger, Madame Sugai's annual Garden Party in celebration of Hanami. A maximum of three hundred exclusive invitations are sent out. Madame Sugai has cultivated a large number of associates, friends and contacts through her duties as Matrona of the Sugai Dai Ichizoku, voting board member of the Sugai Zaibatsu, seated member of the Advisory Council to the Hilo City Council, Hilo Guildhall Syndic, and board seats on a number of charity, arts, and education foundations. Therefore attendees are an eclectic mix of corporate innovators, cultural icons, celebrities, politicians, diplomats, traders, entrepreneurs, scholars, scientists, students, artists, dignitaries, armed forces personnel, business executives, and ambassadors. Madame Sugai has stated she enjoys the opportunity to mingle in a slightly less formal setting with individuals of public interest, and people who interest her, as well as recognize and promote people who make notable contributions to the community. The public however, eagerly awaits the release of the reception line photos that set the tone for the upcoming seasons fashions. Already confirmed is that Madame Sugai and her Courtesan Reynard Jorlan will be wearing attire by designers Denma Gvasalia and Nicole Ghesquiere respectively.
