CALLING ALL c/o'86 MULES!

Howzit everyone! Our 25th reunion is NEXT YEAR! Wow - how time flies, yeah?

So, we need to really get on the ball and coordinate our efforts! A lot of us are on Facebook and have a group there to get discussing things.

LHS Class of 86 - Our FB group.
  • You need to join FaceBook to participate in this group.
  • There are message boards, ideas being spun, and of course, all of US, your classmates (or a growing number of us anyways).
  • Joining FB is FREE! So what's stopping you?
We have classmates living in Vegas, and that is the de-facto venue for our 25th. Resources, organization, and planning is what we need to do NOW to help save costs later!

So get going! Join www.FaceBook.com and join the group!


Please email this blog post to ANY classmate you know! We've come (and gone) a long way since 1986, and we've all lost touch! :) You can get reunion information from the following sources:
  1. This blog (so bookmark it!)
  2. LHS Class of 86 FB group
  3. Leilehua's Alumni webpage

Update

Hau'oli makahiki hou!

Its been one wacky year full of distractions that kept us from thinking about our upcoming reunion. The economy didn't help much, nor did the many layoffs, foreclosures and insecurity of the nation as a whole. But we all somehow made it through 2009, and the first decade of this new millennium. We deserve some honi!

2011 will be our 25th year out of high school - and the reunion buzz is starting up once again. Many of us are on Facebook.com and are in various alum groups - I invite everyone who reads this to join in ONE group. Organized by our classmate Wallyn K Christian, we can all post there and communicate what we want.

Of note, the general consesus is for a Vegas reunion. Shoots! But when, how much, and where? That is what we need to discuss and get rolling! Mainland & Hawaii classmates spread the word!

So if you haven't already, join Facebook.com and then join the LHS Class of 86 reunion group

See you all there!

New Year "Mini" Reunion

Deena & Winston are here from Vegas for the holidays, and have decided to have impromptu "mini" reunions!

The first was held on Dec. 27 @ the Shack in Mililani. Due to weather and time, not many showed up. So, Dee wants to go at it again and has sent out a mass email. Here are the details...

Hey LHS '86 Classmates!

Let me reintroduce myself...you can go check who me in da yearbook afta.
I'm Deena Mendoza. Born and raised in Wahiawa (Wahiawa Elem, Wahiawa Inter., and Leilehua). I was there all through my life until my recent divorce...yes, I got divorced. I moved to Las Vegas early September 2008. Anything else...come meet up with us.

Anyway, I am so taking a chance of trying to make this happen. I know that it is short notice, but why not? I thought that since me and Winston Fernandez are here on vacation, we wanted to get together, small kine???

This past Saturday, I had texted what few peoples phone numbers that I had to meet up.
MUCH MAHALOS to Sandie (Rivera), Jana Eligado, and Wallyn Christian for showing up. We met up at 8pm at The Shack in Mililani and stayed til closing 2am. Although only had us (others couldn't make it)...I thought that we had a GREAT time!

Now we'd like do this again. Winston leaves Sunday, 1/4 and I leave later in the week. Please forward this to anyone else. Also, please reply to this to update addresses (phone numbers, too) and to add addresses to our contact list.
I know that they close early, so no excuse about staying out late. But if get choke people that like hang out longer, I'm sure that we can move the party somewhere else?
Please (NO SHAME) call me if you can or can not make it #(808) 351-5702.

Aloha!
Deena Mendoza
Email your confirmation to us so it can be forwarded to Dee (who happens to be part of the ad-hoc reunion committee) and stay informed!
