Calling All Classmates! May Class Meeting: May 20th To Discuss Reunion

Aloha Fellow 79'ers,

I am proposing that the Class meeting for the month of May be held on the third Wednesday (5/20/09) of the month, instead of the first Thursday as per the usual schedule. It will be at the usual place, the SLAA Clubhouse. I hope that by then I will have some idea as to who will want to go to the reunion.

I spoke with Tony and it would be great if everyone who may have any classmate information semi-current (25th reunion) or current could attend the May meeting so that we can compile all the information into one sort of current class information list. See you there!

Mahalo,
Tracy

Questionnaires Are In The Mail

Gang ʻ79,

The final reunion flyer was sent out this week and should be finding it's way to your mailbox. If for any reason you do not receive it, please read this post or contact Tracy M. for information. Thanks, mahalo and have a great day.

Tony'79

And...

As a follow-up to Tony's great e-mail, everyone MUST be mindful that there is a response deadline of no later than May 15. Your hardworking Reunion Committee MUST get a fairly good & reliable headcount. So, don't be left out. Fill out the form & check off all the events you want to attend, whether it is in Hawaii or Vegas or BOTH. PLUS, if we as a class book enough people through Panda, each will get abit more discount. Call our Panda Rep., & make sure you say you are SLHS C/O 1979 30th Year Reunion.

30th Reunion Meeting and Update From Tracy Mizota

Aloha Fellow Classmates,

If you are able to come to this Thursday (4/2/2009) meeting at the Alumni Clubhouse @ 6:30 pm, I will be going over the final arrangements for the events regarding this year's 30th Class Reunion. If you can't attend the meeting, a questionaire flyer (need a head count) will be posted on the Class website sometime this weekend, and a flyer will be going out via postal mail next week. It is IMPORTANT that I get the questionaire flyer back to me via email (attachment) or by postal mail "NO LATER THAN MAY 31,2009".

Those of you who are making arrangements to attend the 30th Reunion events in Las Vegas through Panda Travel so that you can attend the UH vs UNLV football game during the same weekend need to book it soon because "SPACE IS LIMITED" and going fast! If you do make arrangements through Panda Travel let them know that you are from St.Louis Class of 1979 or contact John DeFreitas @ 738-3573 so that he will put all of us in a group for the game.

Anyone who is making their own Las Vegas arrangements not with Panda Travel but would like to go to the UH vs UNLV football game with the rest us please let me know by May 31, 2009 so I can see if there are tickets available that you can purchase from Panda Travel. If you have any questions please email me at tm_@hotmail.com or call me @ 227-6900.

Mahalo,
Tracy
