Yes, 2014 has passed and with it our 45th anniversary year.

Ann Moniz Suen watches as our 45th balloons float away.

Or is that a 24?

 What's happening in 2015?

As planned from last year, a group of 69'ers from Kalani, McKinley, Roosevelt, and Kaimuki are headed to Japan in March for the "Class of '69 Tomodachi Tour 2015."  A total of 34 travelers will be chasing the sakura (cherry blossoms) that should be in full bloom while they are there (hopefully).  Traveling from our class are Joanne Amioka Chikuma, David Kaneshiro, Karen Fukuda Sakumoto, and Bobby Imoto with their spouses.
The trip is being organized by Bobby Imoto and his wife Chris (MHS '69) and conducted by Bobby Chinen (MHS '69) of BCT Tours.
 

Also coming up in 2015 is another Las Vegas get together with the joint Roosevelt, McKinley, and Kalani group.  This trip has been set for September 23 to 28th and is already in the planning stage.  If you're interested, watch for upcoming details.  The group plans on using The Orleans as home base for this trip.
