Could our 45th be better than our 40th?

What do you think?

45th Reunion is coming ...

Okay, the MHS reunion committee has finally recovered from our 62th birthday bash in Las Vegas with our Roosevelt and Kalani 69 classmates and are now ready to get moving on our 45th Class Reunion.

Yes, believe it or not, it has been 45 years since we graduated high school.  This year also marks our 63rd birthday ... well at least for most of us.  You often hear the term, "how time flies."  Well for us 69 graduates, time has actually already flown and we are now on our slow descent into the airport of senior life.  

No one knows how baby boomers are suppose to behave as senior citizens and since we never did follow what everyone else said we had to do, why start now?  Who says we can't hangout with our high school friends and have a great time doing whatever we want to do?  Our kids?  Ha!

Mark your calendars (because with our failing memory, we will forget) to join your fellow Tigers in August for the celebrations.  The Golf, Bowling, and Aloha Reception locations is being determined by the committee and will be posted ASAP.  The dates and times, however, will be the same.

We will be asking for help in locating and contacting classmates who have moved, gotten married, changed their name, etc.  A list of the MIA Tigers is forthcoming, but in the meantime, if you have any questions about the upcoming reunion or are willing to donate or contribute to the events, please contact Dexter or Chris.

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.
