May Class of '79 Board Meeting

Aloha Crusaders of 1979,

We will be having our monthly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 7pm. Please, if you can, come and join us in planning future events and activities for our class members and their families so that we can enjoy the fellowship of our brotherhood known as the Class of '79. Since former Board President Mark Villanueva, Secretary Greg Perry and Treasurer Mike Meyers have stepped down after many many years of serving on the Board, we are looking for more board members to join us to fill the positions of Secretary and Treasurer as well as just board members. We feel the more the merrier. Thank you Mark, Greg, and Mike for all that you have done for the Class of '79.

It is our goal to bring our class together and to strengthen the friendships that were created when we were in high school together. We welcome all ideas and suggestions. Suggestions so far include, bowling, family camping, family picnic, chili or stew cook off contest, or just get together and hang out at the club house on a Sunday afternoon. The idea is not just for us guys to just get together, but to include our better halves, significant others, and our children too. The annual President's Day Weekend SLS Softball tournament is a great start and has been very successful in bringing a large number or our classmates together every year, but there are some out there who feel that it is too sports oriented and don't feel comfortable coming out since they do not play ball. That is why we need your help with ideas and suggestions for other social events and activities so that all will feel comfortable coming out. Please, if you have the time, come down and join us.

It has also been suggested, that since a majority of the Class of '79 will be celebrating their 50th birthday in 2011, a Las Vegas trip/weekend/get together should be planned/organized for 2011. It would also be an opportunity to get together with some of our classmates on the mainland. The 30th Reunion Vegas trip/get together was alot of fun, and if we can repeat that with more of us there, that would be the bomb. More details will be forthcoming as the planning continues.

We meet on the first Wednesday of the month and it has been suggested that we meet a little more often. Thirty days between meetings is a long time and more would probably get accompished if we met more often. Wednesday night was chosen, since it it the least busiest of the week. Suggestions for other meeting days and times are welcome. We will discuss this suggestion further at the next meeting.

If any of you are aware that any one of our classmates is here or will be here in Hawaii for a visit/vacation/work, please contact Karlton Borges (293-9339), Tony Souza (306-3309), or myself, Mel (351-2862) and let us know who and when he/they will be here. We can then attempt to organize/coordinate a get-together with him/them at the club house for sort of a Greet and Meet so that they can be able to see and share some Aloha with some of us guys here that they would not normally have seen. We were able to do that with Kelly Chong, but we missed Kawika Davis and Gerard Lum and others that we did not know about.

Finally, I would like to give a big shout out and Mahalos to Karlton Borges for his efforts to locate the members of the Class of 1979. At last count he was able to locate all but eighteen (probably less by now) of the over 250 classmates in our class. I believe the initial list started at around 30 or 40 classsmates. Good job Karlton, keep up the good work.

From Matt Jordan in Switzerland

We'd love to be in Hawaii for this. Right now, we're (Kate & I) stuck in Zurich, Switzerland (nice place, but not knowing when we can fly is a pain!). Man, this is one mad volcano in Iceland. Our flight back on Sunday was cancelled, and we're hanging around and hoping we get out this Wednesday. At least, I know some German, so we're hanging in there. I don't think Pele ever did this much damage to air travel.

Take care, and great job keeping everyone up to date.

Aloha from Switzerland,

Matt
