Class of '79 Board Meeting September 1, 2010 7pm
Aloha Crusaders of 1979,
We will be having our bi-weekly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Wednesday, September 1, 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 August 19th meeting was attended by James Santos, Karlton Borges, Tony Souza, Tracy Mizota, Greg Perry, Russell Valente, Albert Nakanishi, and myself, Mel Pilien.
A date has been set for our first quarterly Luncheon/Dinner. Sunday, September 19th, 2010, at the Camellia Buffet (930 McCully St., between King and Algeroba Sts.) at 5pm. All you can eat Korean BBQ (cook your own at the table) for about $22 per person. Bring your appetite, and spouses and family are always welcome. See you there.
The First Annual Chili Cook-Off has be rescheduled for Sunday, Sept. 26th, 2010 the Ke'ehi Lagoon Park from 11am to 2pm. Event will be held regardless of weather. Cook up a pot of your best chili and show us what you got.
Greg Perry was there to report that the goal of raising $2k a year towards our $50k gift is on track. We wish Greg the best in his run to be a SLAA board member.
Russell Valente was there to report on changes happening up at the school, and he also had some information about fundraising opportunities that could be applied towards our $50k gift. More information will be forth coming once it is fully sorted out.
It has been confirmed that Wayne Apuna will be in town for about three weeks in September. A 'Meet and Greet' has not yet been coordinated, but keep your eyes and ears open for it. Maybe before a St Louis football game at Aloha stadium, just like the old days?
Several classmates have expressed an interest in having a Poker game night coordinated. This can be done. If you are interested in playing, please call me (351-2862) or Karlton (286-8727). We would like to have some firm commitments in order to proceed.
It has also been suggested that we check out our fellow classmate and entertainer Bryan Tolentino, who plays every Tuesday night with Weldon Kekuoha from 6-9pm at the Kane Ka Pila Grill at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach (where Cilly's used to be). Looking to probably do this sometime in October.
Finally, we are still looking for nominees for softball coaches for the upcoming Alumni Softball Tournament held on Presidents Day weekend in February of 2011. So far, the only requirement is that the coach nominee had participated previously in the Alumni Softball tournament. Instead of selecting/electing one coach as done previously, all coach nominees will coach as a committee so that all willing to be involved can be involved
We welcome any comments or feedback you may have. Please feel free to call us, post a comment via the blog or via email.

Class of '79 Board Meeting August 19, 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, August 19, 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 August 4th meeting was attended by Greg Frey, James Santos, Karlton Borges, Steven Soong, Tony Souza, Tracy Mizota, and myself, Mel Pilien.
A tentative date has been picked for our 50th birfday get together in Las Vegas. We are looking at October 6th-9th, 2011, Thursday through Sunday. We did not realize at the time that Monday, October 10th is Columbus Day. We will check to see if this will have an effect on airfares and hotel reservations. If it does, we will probably move it up a week earlier. We are trying as much as possible to keep costs reasonable so that more of us will be able to participate.
It has also been suggested that since a majority of our classmates are here in Hawai'i, we should plan some 50th birfday get together events for here in Hawai'i. All agreed that that is a good idea, so we will start looking into this.
It has also been suggested that we have quarterly luncheons/dinners at one of the many all you can eat buffets available to us. We will be selecting a date and location at the next meeting.
Next, we are looking for nominees for softball coaches for the upcoming Alumni Softball Tournament held on Presidents Day weekend in February of 2011. So far, the only requirement is that the coach nominee had participated previously in the Alumni Softball tournament. Instead of selecting/electing one coach as done previously, all coach nominees will coach as a committee so that all willing to be involved can be involved. The sports committee has already started looking into shirt/uniform purchasing and silk screening costs.
The First Annual Chili Cook Off still needs to be rescheduled. We are looking for a date and location sometime in September.
It has been rumoured that Wayne Apuna may be in town sometime soon, so keep an eye out for the 'Meet and Greet' announcement if the rumour becomes true.
Other suggestions/ideas that were brought up at the meeting were: the need for a photo sharing site link so that photos from our various events can be easily uploaded and shared by all; various fundraising possibilites; and a Paypal account for easier fundraising/donation collection.
Lastly, we are doing our best to plan events and activities to bring us, as friends together. We would greatly appreciate any feedback - yay or nay, or any other suggestions or alternatives that you may have. You can comment on the blog, reply via email, or even call me (808-351-2862) or Karlton Borges (808-293-9339).
Over all it was a good meeting with lively discussion and comradery over pupus and drinks.

Class of '79 Board Meeting August 4, 2010 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 4, 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 July 15 meeting was actually a 'Meet and Greet' for Bob Phillips who was supposedly visiting from the mainland. There was a nice turn out of guys for the 'Meet and Greet'. Grant Kashiwabara, James Santos, Dwayne Arrelliano, Greg Perry, Tony Souza, Greg Frey, Albert Nakanishi, Karlton Borges, David Agor, Andrew Medieros, Tracy Mizota, Mel Pilien, and out of seclusion, Roland LaPierre. Well anyway, Bob Phillips never made it, but that is his loss. Everyone there was glad to be there and happy to see each other and a good time was had by all.
The First Annual Chili Cook Off had been cancelled due to weather concerns and needs to be rescheduled and a date for our 50th birfday Las Vegas get together also needs to be picked.
