Request for information

We will have a large group for the reunion, and everyone may not get to converse with each other. To facilitate “getting to know what you did after high school” Greg Tsuda is suggesting that you fill out the following information form. This is completely voluntary and you may participate at your option. Please give the filled out form to Greg at the hospitality suite.

Reminders:

• If you have a raffle donation, please advise Linda Nyman and bring to the hospitality suite, where we will display for bidding.
• The attire for all events is casual.
• Pickup your information packets as early as possible.
• Bring a family picture if you want to share. We will post in the hospitality room.

With less than 30 days till our 50th, the Reunion Committee is busy at work preparing for the big weekend. As posted earlier, the final schedule will be published a couple of weeks prior to the event, so make sure you check back here for more details.

The T-Shirts have been printed and they look great! Rudy out did himself again. A few reminders before you leave for Vegas:

1. We are looking for a few raffle items. If you made it yourself, thats even better. At the last Vegas celebration, we did the same and everyone enjoyed bidding on some very nice items. (Let Linda know so we can better plan for it.)
2.  At the Hospitality Suite, we will have a wall for “Share Your Family” pictures. One or two pictures will speed us to current day since graduation. Spouse, Kids, Grandkids, etc.

Aloha, and come back in a couple of weeks.
