Class of '79 Board Meeting November 17, 2011 7pm

Aloha Crusaders of 1979,

We will be having our bi-weekly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Thursday, November 17, 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. If you have any comments or preference let us know.

The 50th Birfday Las Vegas Get-Away was both fun and exhausting. In attendance for the various events were Aaron Manuel, Steve Adams, Tracy Mizota, Albert Nakanishi, Matt and Stella Jordan, Bob and Jeane Farrell, Darryl Chun, Mike and Amy Andrade, Tony Souza and his better half, Bridget, Elliot and Teresa Pimental, Tuitama Vailamu(Willie Tito) and family, and myself, Mel Pilien. A bunch of guys (Conrad Manayan, John Fernandez, and Wayne Apuna) had to cancel at the last moment due to last minute work commitments. Hope you guys can make it next time. The weather was perfect: low 80's during the day and low 70's to mid 60's during the night. Shorts and T-shirt weather.

Golfing had been cancelled at the last minute due to Clayton Miyata having been called away at the last minute for PGA qualifying in California. The Cocktail get together was held at Bob Farrel's two story pool side suite at the Palms Casino and Resort. Thanks Bob, for offering your digs for the Cocktail Get Together. It was the perfect location. The Buffet at the Belagio was fantastic as ususal, with a selection of buffet choices yet to be matched. It was good to see everyone there and a fun time was had by all. It was also exhausting just because it is Las Vegas and there are no time limitations to whatever it is that you are doing.

Well, the general concensus is that we should do it again next year and I agree. Looking to do it again in October, unless you guys would like to sugggest another time. UH is moving to the Mountain West, so will they still be playing UNLV?

See you guys at the meeting on Thursday. We will start planning for the Super Bowl Party and the Annual Softball tournament as well as the event calander for 2012. There is also a possiblity of a Christmas Potluck get together. We will keep you updated as soon as a decision and location is agreed upon.

If you purchased a license plate frame, Karlton will be at the Alumni Clubhouse to pass them out from 5 turtles on.

Any Comments or Feedback is warmly appreciated.

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving wherever you are.
