Class of '79 Board Meeting Thursday, September 23, 2010 7pm

Aloha Crusaders of 1979.

We will be having our bi-weekly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Thursday, September 23, 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.

The September 1st meeting was attended by Greg Perry, Wayne Apuna, Tony Souza, Ben Guiterrez, Willie Tito, Karlton Borges, Andrew Medieros, Scott Melendy, and myself, Mel Pilien.

We now have a coach for the 2011 Alumni Softball tournament.  Greg Perry informed us that Cody Correa has accepted the softball coaching position.  Thank you Cody for stepping up.  If anybody else would like to coach, you can still get involved and be a co-coach with Cody.

Shirts styles and sizes for the 2011 Alumni Softball tournament have been determined, and will soon be ordered.  We are looking for someone with artistic talent to assist us with the design.  Since a majority of us will be celebrating the our 50th birfdays in 2011, the shirt style selected will be unique, so we would like an equally unique shirt design.  So, all you artistic guys, you know who you are, start thinking of a unique shirt design for us.

The First Annual Class of '79 Chili Cook-Off is still scheduled for Sunday, September 26, 2010 at the Ke'ehi  Lagoon Park from 11am to 2pm come rain or shine.  Bust out your best chili recipe and come on down and show us your stuff.

The meet and greet for Wayne Apuna followed the short meeting.  It was good to see him and he is doing well in Reno.  Thanks to all the guys that came.

The pre-game tailgate before Kamehemeha vs St. Louis game was fun.  Thanks to everyone that made it.

The Quarterly Class Brunch/Lucheon/Dinner at Camellia Buffet was fun and interesting.  So much to eat!  Thanks again to everyone that made it.

Memor et Fidelis

ILH Season Opener St Louis vs Kamehameha at the Aloha Stadium on Saturday, September 4th, 2010 at 7pm

Crusaders of 1979,

Darnell Arceneaux and the St Louis Crusader football team open the ILH football season against the Kamehameha Warriors on Satureday, September 4th, 2010 at Aloha Stadium.  Kick off at 7pm.  Pre-Game tailgate in section 12D or 13D starting at about 5 turtles.  Wayne Apuna said he would be there, so here is your second chance to hang out with Wayne.  Bring a cup, cause we gotta be discreet about drinking adult beverages in the open at the stadium at high school events.  If you cannot make it to the pre-game, 79'ers usually congregate between the 20 and 30 yard line of the Orange section Opposite the side where the St Louis Cheerleaders and Band are located.  See you there.  Go Crusaders!

Aloha,

Mel Pilien
