Plan Ahead ... Save Money, Save Effort, Save Time!

The members of the combined '69 alumni from Kalani, McKinley, and Roosevelt High Schools are busy.  Besides their joint efforts for the "Summer's End" fundraising dance to benefit their respective schools, they are also planning something for themselves.  As you can see, or have already heard, it's to celebrate their 62nd birthday ... or 44th class reunion or recent retirement, or just for fun.  As the years roll by, we look at any reason to celebrate life, having fun with friends, and letting loose.

Part of the planning is to help save money (so we can do more "field trips").  Good planning also saves time and effort.  So what the committee needs is an early commitment on the trip.  With larger numbers, we can get a better package deal and plan the itinerary accordingly.

If you are planning on attending, please let us know.  Especially if you plan on taking advantage of the package deal that we have with Vacations Hawaii.  We need a count now to lock in the $699 deal for air, hotel, and meals.  The total Birthday Bash package will be about $850 and includes the nightly hospitality suite (pupus and drinks), an "ice breaker" breakfast, a joint banquet, shopping, shuttles, and activities.

Call right away to have us include you in the count for the package deal.  And call us if you plan on making your own travel plans but need info on the activities only portion.

The Calientes ...

They had the sound back then, and still have it now.

Grab your old school friends and join them in their final performance at the Summer's End dance.

The event is a fund raiser for McKinley, Roosevelt, and Kalani High Schools and will definitely "take you back" to the good old high school days.

"What's all that racket next door?"

 "It's only us ... you guys in about 41 years, still dancing."

Yes, that's the main thing.  Music and dancing.

That has not changed.  But the name of our upcoming fund raiser  has changed from The Endless Summer to the Summer's End dance to avoid any copyright concerns.

It is still featuring the final performance by the legendary Calientes with the help of Soul Pilot and the music magic of White Light and Wasabi.  Lots of food, prizes, music, dancing, and fun.

Remember going to dances like this?  

Now you can relive and experience that same magical feeling.

Come on down to where the action is! 

(Doesn't that sound familiar, too?)

Join the '69 alumni from Kalani, McKinley, and Roosevelt High Schools at The Summer's End dance party.  Enjoy the sounds of White Light and Wasabi, the top oldies groups of today, and say aloha to the one and only Calientes.  With the backing of Soul Pilot, they will close the party with their final performance.

Music, lots of food, no-host bar, prizes, dancing, and lots of new and old friends just having a blast.

Don't wait, people are already grabbing tables.  Call your friends, families, co-workers ... anybody.  Get a group together and reserve your table.  

It's a fund raiser for the three schools, so in addition to having a great time and reminiscing, you will also be giving back to the community.  All proceeds will be split among the three alumni groups to be presented to their alma maters.

Check out the poster and call now to make your reservations!  Don't wait!

The Summer's End
