We will be having our bi-weekly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, at 7 pm.  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.

We will be working on the Calendar of Events for 2011. 

The Wii Bowling Tournament was a blast.  Villamu Tuitama (Willie Tito) cleaned  up.  He won three Longs Drugs' gift cards, he had the highest score of 222, and he bowled a turkey (three strikes in a row) and won a turkey.

Aloha Crusaders of 1979.

We will be having our bi-weekly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Wednesday, October 6, 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 23rd meeting was attended by Greg Perry, Tony Souza,  James Santos, Cody Correa, Albert Nakanishi, and myself, Mel Pilien.
 
Cody Correa was there to accept his duties as coach for the Saint Louis Alumni Softball tournament.  He will be scheduling practices so that we are better prepared to win back the perpetual trophy from the Class of '80.  For those of you who did not know, we have an on-going challenge with the Class of '80 where the winner of the Class of '79 vs Class of '80 softball game claims the perpetual trophy for the year until the next Alumni softball tournament.
 
The softball shirts have been ordered and recieved.  We are currently looking for a shirt design and designer.  If you are interested in contributing a design, please let us know.
 
On Tuesday, October 26th,  we will be checking 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).  Come on join us for some good Hawaiian Music.
 
 With so few public bowling alleys and the difficulty of getting on base for the military lanes, we are in the planning stages of having a Wii bowling tournament over at the Alumni Clubhouse.  It is said that Wii bowling is equally a difficult as real bowling so keep an eye out for further information.
 
The First Annual Chili Cook Off was a blast.  Good weather, good food, cold beers, and good company.  Albert Nakanishi was declared the winner with his outstanding all meat, no beans chili.  Thanks to all that participated.
 
Again, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Class of '79 Board Meeting June 17, 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, June 17, 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 June 2nd meeting was attended by Greg Perry, Tony Souza, Scott Melendez, Albert Nakanishi, and myself, Mel Pilien.

A date has been set for the First Annual Chili Cook Off Contest. Mark you calendars for Sunday, July 18, 2010. The site was originally set for Ke’ehi Lagoon park, but it looks like OHCRA has a canoe regatta that day, so we are in need of an alternate site. Site needs are: lots of parking, somewhat centrally located, a fairly clean restroom, and be where adult beverages can be consumed (discreetly) without any bother. Your suggestions for an alternate location would be most welcomed.

Greg Perry is a member of the Spearheading committee for the ‘Drive for 50k’ fundraiser for the Class of ’79 trust fund and was there to report that there is about $1,000 currently in our trust fund. About $500 came from donations in response to the spearheading committee letter sent out earlier this year, and about $500 form the Ohana fair fundraiser that occurred several years ago that the school was holding for us. To refresh your memory, it has been a tradition that when a Saint Louis Class celebrates their 50th reunion, that class presents a gift of $50,000 to Saint Louis School. A letter was sent out earlier this year and Russell Valente also posted an explanation on the Class of ’79 blog site. In a nut shell, if the spearheading committee can raise at least $2,000 a year (basically $40 a year from 50 annual donors more or less) the goal of $50,000 is reachable and doable. Greg brought letters and envelopes to be stuffed so expect a follow up letter from the Spearheading committee concerning the fundraiser.

Stuffing letters took up most of our time so that is about all that really got really accomplished that night.

Class of '79 Board Meeting June 2, 2010 7pm

Aloha Crusaders of 1979,

We will be having our monthly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Wednesday, June 2, 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.

Our May 5th meeting had a nice turn out of guys. Alex Ingel, fresh in from San Francisco was there, as well as Tony Souza, Ben Guiterez, Tracy Mizota, James Santos, Dwayne Areliano, and myself, Mel Pilien.

It had been decided that the first get together to be planned is a Chili Cook Off/Contest. So get your best/favorite Chili recipes out and get ready to get cooking! Target date is one of the Sundays in July. Most probable location at the moment is Ke'ehi Lagoon Park. Set up at about 10 til whenevers. Format will most likely be, cook a pot of chili at home, bring it to the Cook Off, and have everyone blind taste and vote on who has the best chili. The board will provide prizes, rice and salad, bottled water, tents, tables, plates/bowls, forks/spoons, and some means to warm up the chili so that it is hot and at its best. It has also been suggested that we have a dessert contest at the same time, so that those with a sweet tooth can get in the act too. Any comments or suggestions are warmly welcomed.

Everyone was in general agreement that the Las Vegas trip/get together to celebrate the majority of the Class of '79 's 50th birthday is a good idea. Planning is currently on going. We are looking at most probably a spring or fall date, when it would not be too hot or too cold to play golf. UH football game weekends will be avoided in order to keep the costs reasonable.

The next issue discussed was if there should be a second monthly board meeting, and it was agreed upon that there should be another board meeting. So the the second board meeting will be on the third Thursday of the month. Thursday was selected because it was pointed out that some have diffculty making the Wedneday meetings. The next meeting was set for May 20, 2010 at the same bat time at the same bat cave.

The May 20th meeting was poorly attended, just Tony Souza, James Santos, and myself, Mel Pilien. I take the blame for that, since I neglected to post an announcement on the blog or via email. Ben G. posted a small announcement on the blog, but it was too small and difficult to see.

We accounted for the known assets of the Class of '79. $601.32 has been forwarded from the previous administration to me. These funds will be placed in a (yet to be created) SLS Class of 79 board checking account and utilized for our future activities. Tony Souza is currently in possesion of our Class Banner, the Class of '80 has possesion of the softball perpetual trophy, and Aaron Manuel currently has possesion of the class First Aid Kit required for the softball tournament. Inquiries are being made to see if we have any other class assets to be accounted for.

Next, we decided that a quarterly newsletter should be mailed out, in an effort to reach those of our class who are not electronically connected. The SLS Alumni association would be able to assist with this. We just need to provide a original to Bob Takei, and he will make the required copies for us. We then need to stuff the envelopes or fold the newsletters, and the Alumni association will pay for postage and mail out the newsletters for us. We will attempt to get a newletter out in June.

Tony brought up that we need for an easier way to view and share pictures. A photo album site such as Photobucket, Snapfish, or Picasa needs to be set up and linked to our site. That would make it easier for everyone to upload and share photos from our various get togethers and events. Tony also brought up, that we need to get a link to our Class of '79 blogsite on the SLS Alumni site. That would make it easier for anyone at the SLS Alumni site looking for information about the Class of '79 activities. Other classes have links, so we will work on getting one too.

Finally, James Santos mentioned that there should be a way for us to remember our classmates who have unfortunately left us too soon. We will be working on ways to remember our late friends. We will also be working on ways to keep you updated on classmates who have health problems and/or other issues. We are not getting any younger and our thoughts and prayers go a long way in assisting them in their recovery.

May Class of '79 Board Meeting

Aloha Crusaders of 1979,

We will be having our monthly class board meeting at the Crusader Lounge (Alumni Club House) on Wednesday, May 5, 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. Since former Board President Mark Villanueva, Secretary Greg Perry and Treasurer Mike Meyers have stepped down after many many years of serving on the Board, we are looking for more board members to join us to fill the positions of Secretary and Treasurer as well as just board members. We feel the more the merrier. Thank you Mark, Greg, and Mike for all that you have done for the Class of '79.

It is our goal to bring our class together and to strengthen the friendships that were created when we were in high school together. We welcome all ideas and suggestions. Suggestions so far include, bowling, family camping, family picnic, chili or stew cook off contest, or just get together and hang out at the club house on a Sunday afternoon. The idea is not just for us guys to just get together, but to include our better halves, significant others, and our children too. The annual President's Day Weekend SLS Softball tournament is a great start and has been very successful in bringing a large number or our classmates together every year, but there are some out there who feel that it is too sports oriented and don't feel comfortable coming out since they do not play ball. That is why we need your help with ideas and suggestions for other social events and activities so that all will feel comfortable coming out. Please, if you have the time, come down and join us.

It has also been suggested, that since a majority of the Class of '79 will be celebrating their 50th birthday in 2011, a Las Vegas trip/weekend/get together should be planned/organized for 2011. It would also be an opportunity to get together with some of our classmates on the mainland. The 30th Reunion Vegas trip/get together was alot of fun, and if we can repeat that with more of us there, that would be the bomb. More details will be forthcoming as the planning continues.

We meet on the first Wednesday of the month and it has been suggested that we meet a little more often. Thirty days between meetings is a long time and more would probably get accompished if we met more often. Wednesday night was chosen, since it it the least busiest of the week. Suggestions for other meeting days and times are welcome. We will discuss this suggestion further at the next meeting.

If any of you are aware that any one of our classmates is here or will be here in Hawaii for a visit/vacation/work, please contact Karlton Borges (293-9339), Tony Souza (306-3309), or myself, Mel (351-2862) and let us know who and when he/they will be here. We can then attempt to organize/coordinate a get-together with him/them at the club house for sort of a Greet and Meet so that they can be able to see and share some Aloha with some of us guys here that they would not normally have seen. We were able to do that with Kelly Chong, but we missed Kawika Davis and Gerard Lum and others that we did not know about.

Finally, I would like to give a big shout out and Mahalos to Karlton Borges for his efforts to locate the members of the Class of 1979. At last count he was able to locate all but eighteen (probably less by now) of the over 250 classmates in our class. I believe the initial list started at around 30 or 40 classsmates. Good job Karlton, keep up the good work.

Constitution and By-Laws Saint Louis High School Alumni Class of 1979

Fellow 79er's,

This is something that I wrote up to give us a structured guideline to follow as the years go by. This is nothing permanent, like other documents set up for structured usage, it's subject to changes once a year. This sets up and decsribes the duties of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. This also explains terms of office, appointments and elections. It also warrants the need for Commitees. At this present time there's only a Sports Committee, who's only activity is the Annual Softball Tournament held during the President's Day weekend. The committee assists the SLAA and other classes with play, fun and fellowship.

Other committees are the Membership and Welfare, whose primary concern is the overall welfare of classmates and their immediate families and continual updates of the class roster or as directed by the President. Another committee, the Internet Committee, has dual tasks. Updating of our class blogsite and photographs of all events that our class participates in. Another committee will be the Programs and Events. The responsibilties are to create get togethers for class and families at least every quarter or as the class desires. Examples are family picnics, dinners, multi-family garage sales, fundraisers and the Reunions. The final and most important one is the Finance Committee. The sole responsibility is to set up and implement a plan to set up the Class Gift that is due upon our 50th Reunion. The Treasurer will be in charge of this committee.

We also cover Regular and Associate Membership. Both have an annual fee of $12.00, payable to the SLAA. The Membership Committee will handle that portion of reminding and collection. Associate Membership is for those who had gone to school with us, but did not graduate with us and family members wanting to join our group. It is covered in the SLAA Guidelines......there is more to follow so please keep an eye in the sky and an ear to the pavement. Look left, look right and keep a watch out for our missing classmates. Mahalo........Karlton
