This is what we need from you: Please RSVP by March 19. Send $10, which covers heavy pupus. Your spouse or significant other is free! Water and soft drinks will be provided, otherwise BYOB.
Send your $10 to Doreen Friberg at 270 Kaiulani St., Hilo, HI 96720. Please include your name, address, home phone, cell, email address and how many are attending.

Donations for prizes will be appreciated. Let us know if you have anything to offer so that we can recognize those who are providing prizes for this wonderful event. Come and join your classmates for an evening of fun, fellowship and memories!
If you know of anyone that has not been contacted by one of the 1965 Class Reunion Committee members, please let them know. Or, they can call Charlie Umamoto at the above number to let him know that they are coming.
All of the above information is important as we want to make sure we have food for our nourishment. As we are aging gracefully, we want to be in touch with each other and of course we need to catch up on what we are all doing.
For off-island classmates, do you need a hotel room in Hilo? Does anybody need transportation from Hilo to Honokaa? Charlie is looking at getting a bus. Call him if you are interested.
