                                  golf shoes (no slippers)

Door prizes for everyone all night long!  CASH grand door prize - Must be present to WIN!!

Special "Senior" Discount!

 Okay, you can take "senior" two ways.  The first is that we were all Seniors from Kalani High School when we graduated in 1969.  The second ... has something to do with getting older.

Kalani OCC Birthday Bash Notice

Hi, Fellow Falcons -- Oops, sorry for the confusion on the registration form.  The novice flier maker couldn't get that golfer to stay put in the middle of the flier so the golf notice was placed at the top. 

We want to emphasize that the buffet dinner is the main course -- prime rib, etc. for only $50!  Golf is only the appetizer.  Sooo, all you non-golfers (and golfers, too), this Oa'hu 60th birthday celebration is for you!

Please print and complete the attached registration form and submit with your check ($50) made payable to :  Kalani Class of '69

Wouldn't 69 be a fitting golf score?

Since those rumors that the Calientes would play

at the July 23rd birthday bash came through, 

perhaps we should work on a new possibility.  

What if a certain celebrity golfer decided to come 

down and play with our alumni on August 12th?

How many strokes would he give?  Who would he play with?

Join your Kalani Class of 1969 alumni for our golf

experience on Friday, August 12, 2011 at the

Oahu Country Club, then join the rest of your classmates

at the our Pau Hana Buffet 60th Birthday Bash.
