February 6 MHS Class of 89 minutes

Hafa Adai Fellow 89ers! Our second MHS Class of 89 Reunion meeting took place on Friday, February 6, 2009, at the Propst residence in Susupe.

In attendance were:

Meeting was called to order at 7:15PM. Ed Propst moderated the meeting. Esther Seman volunteered to be the recorder.

Everyone was thanked for coming, and encouraged to bring at least one fellow 89er to our next meeting so that we will have a bigger turnout.

The 89 blog spot was announced (http://mhsclassof89.blogspot.com/) and everyone was encouraged to look for high school photos to add the the blog and for an 89 slideshow at our reunion.

The official date for our reunion was approved by all in attendance. The date is set for Saturday, June 13, 2009. The date is significant since it will mark exactly 20 years to the day that we graduated.

It was suggested that we hold a potluck-style family fun day picnic a week before the reunion. Everyone agreed. Saturday, June 6, 2009 is set for the 89 family barbecue. Greg Calvo was nominated to be the chairperson and graciously accepted. The event will be held at the Minachom Atdao at Kilili Beach Park. Jesse Palacios volunteered to reserve it with Parks and Rec. Greg Calvo will put together committees and lay out plans and assign duties at out next meeting.

The attire for our class reunion on June 13 will be island-formal wear. A search for a venue is ongoing. Quotes will be solicited for the following hotels with 89ers volunteering to get the info: Pacific Islands Club Saipan (Ed Propst); Fiesta Resort (Jenn Rosario); Saipan World Resort (Marvin Seman); Aqua Resort (Elizabeth Concepcion); Palms Resort, formerly known as Nikko Hotel Saipan (Gernadine Camacho).

It was recommended that once the hotel venue is chosen and agreed upon, we work on selling tickets. It was also recommended and agreed that the tickets will be non-refundable. It was recommended that given the state of the economy, we find a reasonably priced venue.

It was recommended and agreed that we also have a Class of 89 Mass. It was agreed and the date was set for Friday, June 12, 2009, at Garapan’s Kristo Rai Church. Erlinda has volunteered to get information from Kristo Rai and to confirm our Celebration Mass.

With regard to fundraising activities, it was recommended and agreed that any fundraiser gives all of its profits to Marianas High School and not to our reunion. Alumni members are always encouraged to give back to their schools. Everyone is encouraged to put away $10 each month to save up for the reunion.

Other topics discussed:

• Invite former advisors and teachers.
• Reminder to go to mhsclassof89.blogspot.com and to e-mail Ed pictures of high school days. Ed will also volunteer to scan in pictures.
• 
  

Next meeting is scheduled for Friday, February 20, 2009, at 6:00PM. We also can have it at someone else’s place for future meetings, so if anyone would like to volunteer their house for future meetings, please e-mail me at edpropst@gmail.com. The next meeting will be moderated by Leona Dlg. Sablan.

For future meetings, all 89ers are asked to bring their favorite drink or drinks and chasers or snacks for our next meeting. Biba potluck!

The meeting was adjourned at 8:10PM, but we stayed and partied on for another 3 hours. Hey, we may be older, but we can still party!

Special thanks to Esther Seman for taking awesome notes. You rock!

Setting a DATE for the Reunion

89ers: Kimo, Jenn, Leona, Daisy, Erlinda, and Jesse

We had our first MHS Class of 89 20 year reunion meeting last night. Attendance was meager, but it didn't stop us from having a good time reminiscing about the good ol' days!

Since we graduated on June 13, it was suggested that we hold our reunion on the same day, which happens to fall on a Saturday. Many who are off island need to plan, so setting a date is most urgent. Please share with us your thoughts on this proposed date and make comments below.

Our next meeting will be on Friday, February 6, at the Propst residence in Susupe, but we can also hold it at someone else's house if they would like to volunteer their place. For more info, please call 483-7361.

Go 89ers!

Regards,
Ed Propst
