Na Kane O Kalaepohaku,
First of all Tony thanks for your diligence in keeping the information pipe line open.
With that said, here's an update on the Softball Tourney. There is one thing we can assume that the Tourney will be the Presidents Day weekend as usual. And I would like to send out plea for participation in this years events.
We are looking for sponsorships to help with the overall cost. To date we have gotten commitments of donation from the following individuals: Tony Souza, Randy Uyema, Greg Perry, Greg Frey, Steven Soong, and William Tito. These individuals donate every year to the class for special events and have always shouldered the burden. I know we all appreciate their efforts, however with this tourney marking the beginning of our 30th year since we left the slopes of Kalaepohaku, I would hope that more people would come forward to share with this fiscal burden. St. Louis has helped to mold our personalities, determination and passion. Whether our four years were filled with hardship, life's lessons or success we have persevered. And, our lives are forever entwined because of the snapshot we called High School.
This year, I would also like to have an after-game dinner for all classmates on Saturday. This would be for all classmates, not just those who have played in that day's games, and would start about 5:00 pm. So you don't need to play to come to the dinner.
We are in need of the following items to make the softball tourney weekend a success: cooks, tents, musicians (Greg Martin has already volunteered), coolers, ice, paper products, food, players, cooking items, tables, chairs, setup crew, breakdown crew, party goers, players, money, and fun to be had by all. If you see something you can help with please feel free to email me at coach79 (at) hawaii.rr.com (yes I have had this email address for 15 years go figure).
Lastly, for those who will be participating in the games, please gentlemen let's start stretching, throwing a ball around, bending down to pick up a ball (ha-ha), and swing something; doesn't have to be a bat, you choose, just limber up those joints. This is for fun and fellowship and along the way maybe a victory over the classes of '80 and '77. So if you see something you can donate or help with please either email me or leave me a message at 808-256-7002.
Gentlemen thank you for your Time, Effort and Participation,
James Santos

I would also like to add Steven Soong's name to that list of supporters for next years event. Steve has also been a man we have counted on in past years.
Did you know that with your donation you get the Class of '79 complete softball package?
And without your support we may all get a empty package. So Gents lets dig a little and make our 30th a solid event.
