One More 60th Birthday Celebration

Because of the mix of '69 grads from four schools, not

to mention the live music by the Beat Boys and

an epic performance by the Calientes, the birthday

bash held on July 23rd was a tremendous success.

Coming up to culminate our 60th birthday celebration is

our Las Vegas bash in November.  For those of you who

signed up to attend, more information is forthcoming.

Everyone attending will enjoy, not only the casino games

of Las Vegas, but fun filled activities throughout the trip.

Some will be with our birthday partners from Kalani and

McKinley, but we will still have some "quiet" time

together, to properly reflect with some Tiger memories.

The 60th Birthday Bash

The joint Birthday Bash event for Kaimuki, Kalani, McKinley, and Roosevelt High Schools' Class of '69 was held on Saturday, July 23, 2011 at the Japanese Cultural Center's Manoa Ballroom.  Over 225 alumni and friends from the four schools enjoyed interaction, food, casino games, and live music by the Beat Boys.  But with the special appearance of the legendary Calientes at the end of the night, the bash went from a good party to an EPIC event.
