HI Everyone,
I just wanted to post a special thank you to all of the volunteers who helped to make this reunion possible. Without these wonderful classmates of yours, this reunion would not have been a success and wouldn't have happened!!!

Rachel Kondo: Thank you Rachel for all of your hard work and planning skills throughout this whole process!! Even though you were in California you made all of the phone calls and meeting with Maui Ocean Center when it was there first then again when it was moved to Oceans. You have dontated so much of your time and personal funds that I am truely grateful to have you be one of the main people to get this reunion going. You have always had a positive attitude throughout this whole process and your classmates are lucky to have you as their class President. You have helped me to be sane and on track with this reunion. Thank you Smile

Shelley Andagan: Thank you Shelley for all of the time & effort that you placed in this reunion. You were the main reason that all of this got started back a year ago in 2008 to make sure that it was a success. It's because of you that we had an in with Oceans as well. Even though you're working and in California, you still had the time to do this reunion. Thank you for everything that you have contributed to this reunion!

Autumn (Taylor) Arase: Thank you Autumn for having the passion and drive to see this reunion be a fun and energy filled reunion. You attended each volunteer meeting with great input and go-give to make sure that everything was done. Without you, there wouldn't have been a banner or slide show. You were a great Emcee at the reunion and really kept everyone on tract Saturday Night. Thank you for ALL of your hard work.

Sean Bersamin: Thank you Sean for jumping on the volunteer wagon and getting in touch with all of the missing classmates. Lots of people showed up because you called them to let them know to come. You attended all of the volunteer meetings and were so flexible and positive throughout the whole process. Without you, there wouldn't be a banner and your Emcee skills are GREAT! You really know how to keep the engery going and add humor to the evening. Thank you.

Tracie Takatani: Thank you Tracie for being so positive throughout everything. You helped to keep all of the volunteers within communication and also really have a heart for the class. Even when things were troubling, you always found a way to address it with class and to help us get past the issue and to resolve the problem. You truely are a sweet person and I was so happy to have you on the team. Thank you.

Jacelyn Kane: Thank you Jacey for donating the favors for the reunion and looking into other venues just in case Ocean's didn't work out. The favors were delicious. I really appreciated your down to earth input on everything and realistic views on how things will go. It helped to keep us all on the same page and even though you just gave birth, you still had time to be part of the volunteer committee. Thank you Smile

Kalei Uwekoolani: Thank you Kalei for always being so positive and upbeat. You always had a smile on your face and were so flexible thru everything. Even when things were thrown at you last minute you were very comfortable with doing what needed to get done. Thank you Smile

Marc Batungbacal: Thank you Marc for helping out with everything in the reunion. You also didn't miss any volunteer meetings and were always available to help with getting things done. You helped with getting all of the items together for the night and deocrating the area. Not to mention, you also donated your time, money & energy with the Photo Booth. That was so nice Smile Thank you for being my sounding board Razz

Hokulani Felicilda: Thank you Hoku with your help with the games and for getting the idea juices flowing with how to do things. I appreciate your guidance with getting the games together. Thank you.

Clifford Wright: I especially want to thank my husband Cliff. Even though you didn't go to Maui High, you have been my biggest volunteer throughout everything. You went and got things I needed, helped with setting up, were my photographer for the evening and even helped to take care of the crazy drunk ones the night of the reuion. You knew once I started with volunteering for the reunion that you were also automatically part of the reunion committee. Without you I would have been insane and couldn't enjoy myself to the fullest. You are the perfect husband for me. Thank you my love.


Thanks to all of of you special people, the class reunion was a big success! Your classmates are lucky to have you in their class. My heart felt love and sincere gratitude for each of your hard work and passion for this reunion.


Mahalo,
