 Gerald Sato (Kaimuki), Ronald Fukumoto (Kaimuki), Susan Tamashiro Sato (McKinley), Bobby Imoto, and Keith Kurahashi (McKinley) review yearbooks of the Bulldogs and Tigers.

Mahalo to the Kaimuki Class of '69 alumni and our own Warren Kunimoto for planning a great day in the sun with tennis, basketball, volleyball, and some awesome food.  The smoked ribs and tripe stew were out of this world.  The first phase of the Class of '69 Birthday Bash was a tremendous success.  Next step is the four-schools bash that will take place at the Japanese Cultural Center on Saturday.

More highlights to follow.

The Bash is around the corner

 

Committee members from Roosevelt, McKinley, Kaimuki, and Kalani finalize details at their last joint meeting before the Birthday Bash.  It is right around the corner ... next week Saturday, the 23rd.

Good news is that the projected attendance is over 220, with a few more expected at the door.

Mahalo to all the participating alumni members and especially for the Kaimuki High School, Class of '69 for hosting the event and inviting their neighboring classmates.

Please view the attached tentative itinerary and decide whether you want to be a part of this fun-filled, activity packed 60th birthday celebration.  Join your classmates, as well as friends from Roosevelt and McKinley, as we get together for a 5-night, 6-day birthday celebration.

We need to hear from everyone planning on attending this trip.  Please print and complete the registration form and submit with your choice of package (either A, B, or C) and deposit (required for pkgs. A & B) or full payment (for pkg. C) by Friday, July 15th.

To help you decide and hopefully, to clarify which package you should take:

Package A:  To/From Honolulu:  For those who want the full package:  $799 based on double occupancy (single occupancy $75 additional fee).  For single travelers, once we have confirmed responses, we will do our best to pair you with someone to avoid the additional fee).  This package includes the Vacations Hawaii 6 days, 5 nights package with roundtrip airfare, 5 nights at the California Hotel (including meal coupons), airport/hotel transportation, shuttles (fare & tips) to all planned activities and optional shows, shopping, group dinner, etc. plus nightly pupu parties.  This is for those who want to get there and have us worry about the details (land transportation, fares, tips, etc.)

Package B:  Hotel & Activities only: For those who have own travel arrangements (mileage, driving cross country, etc.).  $254 based on double occupancy (single occupancy $75 additional fee).  Again, for single travelers, we will try to pair you with someone (Hawaii resident) to avoid the additional fee and get the kamaaina package).
This package includes 5 nights at the California Hotel, including meal coupons and the planned activity fees, shuttle fares/tips, etc. described in package A.
Tentatively, please make reservations on your own at the California Hotel, Main
Street, or Fremont, etc.
Please submit your response form with $100 deposit.  On a first come, first served basis (based on date response form is received), subject to availability, we will offer you the Vacations Hawaii kamaaina hotel/meal coupon package & activities ($254).  You can then cancel other hotel arrangements you have made.  You must submit the response form and $100 deposit to be considered for any available kamaaina packages.

Package C:  Get-together activities only:  For those with own travel/lodging arrangements.  Since this is a Class of '69 60th birthday celebration, we strongly recommend that you submit your response form with $82 and join us in the planned activities.  This will allow you to participate in all planned activities as described in pkg. A, with shuttle fares/tips covered, as well as join us for nightly pupu parties before you return to your own accommodations. 

Come join the fun!  Don't be left out.  Send your form & payment TODAY!
