We still GOT THE TIGER SPIRIT!!!
Thanks for visiting www.McKinley1978.com! Happy Thanksgiving~!!! If you are reading this, then you are one of the spirited Tigers who probably will attend our next gathering. Next year 2010 is very special. Not only is it our year of turning fabulous 50, but it is also the YEAR OF THE TIGER!!!! Special thanks to the hard working committee. We are still getting bids for pricing, but it looks like it will be a reunion in Las Vegas in September 2010. This will help to bring in some of our mainland residents to show up, since flights to LV are usually on special. The pricing seems competitive. So whether you are a Vegas regular, or a newbee, we will have a great reunion with something for everyone. We are calling all classmates with connections in Las Vegas to help us with planning our 50th birthday party in 2010! As part of our 30th reunion, we created a collection box for the American Cancer Society to honor our classmates who have passed away, and those who are now battling this disease. On November 5, 2008, Jaydene Tanaka and Dustin Ebesu presented our checks (plus a class of 1978 check) totalling $500.00!!! What an awesome accomplishment. Thank you to everyone!
Our McKinley 1978 golf day had been cancelled. BIG MAHALOs to Kelly Sur for coordinating all the phone calls. Maybe it is just our luck that will keep us out of the vog!
Aloha from your Co-Chairpersons: Jaydene (Tanaka) Viernes, Audrey (Suga) Nakagawa, Dustin Ebesu and the rockin' committee. We have that Tiger Spirit and want you to get fired up too!
~ And a great big mahalo to Dustin for the countless hours and sleepless nights working to put together this exciting website, and keeping up the latest and greatest changes and updates! Special thanks, too, to Ed Young (our "older" brother, MHS Class of '77) for meeting with us to get our site on the right track! ~Mahalos to Audrey and Jayne for hosting our meetings at their homes. We have been so blessed! Our class is truly lucky to have each other.
Where are you in the picture???

2008 is our YEAR OF THE RAT! This year some of us will be celebrating our 48th birthday (or our 576th month, or our 17,268th day on earth.) However, we're still so young, we should think of it as 3 times our sweet 16.
We have been having a great response to the website. Now sign in your email and mailing address, tell 5 more people and we'll have a really great big huge 50th birthday party!
If you had a great time at the reunion, please send us your photos and stories to this website. Send email and attachments to mckinley1978hawaii@yahoo.com. Tell us what information you would like to include. Check the link on the upper left to Hello Fellow Classmates. Mahalo!
Peace, braddahs and sistahs!
Big Mahalos to all who participated!
Our class has been really blessed with good people. Hope you will take some time to send an email, story or photo to our McKinley1978Hawaii@yahoo.com address. Take care, be well, and have a great day!
Practice singing Black and Gold and our Alma Mater!
