Alumni Event: Support Mayor Mufi Hannemann!

Event Date: Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

In support of Mufi Hannemann ‘72 and his campaign for mayor, a few alums (Donn Ariyoshi ‘79, Shaun Ushijima ‘81, and Adam Wong ‘94) are helping to put together an alumni event with the Mayor at his headquarters on the ground floor of the Dole Cannery (next to the theaters).

Date: Wednesday, September 17th
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Campaign Headquarters - View Map »
Address: Dole Cannery (ground floor near the theaters)
Cost: None

The goal is to round up at least 10 members from each class, but the more the merrier. Dinner will be taken care of and there will be no cost to anyone. The main point of the function is for the Mayor to address us as fellow alums, to rally support for the primary election on the 20th, to have a gathering of fellowship and reminisce with old acquaintances.

If you are planning to attend the event, please send an email to IolaniAlumni@gmail.com by Wednesday, September 10th (for a rough head count).

Disclaimer: Iolani School is NOT associated with the marketing, promotion or sponsorship of this event.
