Third Thursday of the Month Meeting (18 August, 2011) Has Been Cancelled.

Aloha Crusaders of 1979,

The Third Thursday of the Month Meeting that was scheduled for August 18, 2011 will be cancelled because I need to attend Back to School night at St. Louis for my son's senior year. See you at the First Wednesday of the Month Meeting on September 7th, 2011 at 7pm at the St. Louis Alumni Clubhouse.

The date for the 50th Birfday Stag Night has been moved up to Saturday, September 17th, 2011. It was felt that it would be easier for guys to get out on a Saturday instead of a Friday, where guys would have to go home first after working all day, then come back to town for the get together. And yes, Aaron Manuel, you are still in charge of the festivities.

The Camp/Picnic at Sherwood's was alot of fun. We had a very good camp site with lots of room to stretch outand the weather was good. Attendees included Albert Nakanishi, Karlton Borges, Rex Kamakana, Steven Soong, Mr. and Mrs. Greg Perry and family, Mr. and Mrs. James Santos, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Murata and family, Mark Villanueva, Mel Pilien, and Tony Souza. There was lots to eat and drink and the company was good.

Lunch with Greg Lung at the Golden Duck on King Street is still on for Monday, August 22, 2011. I believe that lunch will be on the table ready to be served by 11:45am, so plan accordingly if you have to return to work. The head count is at about 20 or so classmates and family. Contact Karlton Borges or Mel Pilien if you are planning to attend so that we have enough seats reserved.

Tickets for the Fred Aiwohi Fundraiser at the St. Louis Club House on Sunday, August 28th, 2011 from 4 to 10pm are still available. Contact Karlton Borges, Mel Pilien, or Russell Valente to reserve your tickets.

I would like to extend a hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Dean Murata as they are expecting a baby girl sometime late in October.

Dass all for now I guess.

Class of '79 Board Meeting Wedneday, August 3, 2011 7pm

Aloha Crusaders of 1979,

We will be having our bi-weekly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Wednesday August 3, 2011 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.

On Saturday, August 23, we had the opportunity to have lunch at Pah ke's Chinese restaurant in Kaneohe with Ardavan Najmabadi who was visiting from Lost Wages and Bert Clancey (Humberto Ocando) who was visiting from North Carolina. It was kinda last minute, but we got a few guys out. In attendance Karlton Borges, Gerald Cullen, and Mel Pilien. It was great to see and talk to the guys, and Ardavan offered his extensive connections throughout Las Vegas to get us some 'Monstrous deals' on accomodations and shows for our 50th Birfday Get Away to Vegas in October. I will let you guys know about the deals as soon as I get more information from him.

Upcoming August events:

August 12 – 14, 2011 Friday to Sunday.

Family Camp at Waimanalo Bay Beach Park Camp Grounds Campsites #3 & 4

and

August 13, 2011 Saturday

Family Picnic at Waimanalo Bay Beach Park Camp Grounds Campsites #3 & 4

We need a head count by Sunday, August 7th so that we can shop accordingly. For more information and to let us know that you are camping, see the last blog post or contact Mel Pilien or Karlton Borges. If you want to just picnic, just come on out, we will be there hanging out.

August 22, 2011 Monday

Greg Lung Luncheon at Golden Duck Chinese Restaurant 11am

Greg Lung contacted me and said that he does not want to be honored for 'giving back and supporting' our alma mater. So it is a "Class of 79 Lunch Bunch" with Greg Lung. Such a humble guy. Again, contact Mel Pilien or Karlton Borges if you plan on attending so we can make sure we have enough seats.

August 28, 2011 Sunday

Fred Aiwohi Fundraiser at the St. Louis Alumni Clubhouse 4pm to 10pm

We have four tickets left, but we can get more if needed. Come show your Aloha and support for Fred and his family. You know who to call to reserve your tickets and for more information.

Next,

We got these:

They are for sale as a fundraiser for the Class of '79 Board. We are asking $50 for each plus shipping ($5) if needed. Funds raised go to help with event expenses, gifts for visiting classmates, for donations toward any worthwhile cause, and to help us to prepay for items such as visors, shirts, and uniforms. The Crusader sticker is an add on, but we will provide you one if you request one.

We also have four St Louis Crusader visors with "'79" embroidered on it. They are left over from the softball tournament and are $15 each plus shipping if needed.

See you at the meeting Wednesday.
