Invitation to gala at Saint Louis (UPDATED 3:50 pm)

Aloha H1 Thunder parents and players. I got a call from Nathan Dudoit this afternoon. He is extending invitations to our team for the Ho'ala Hou Fundraiser (and dinner) at Saint Louis on Saturday, 5 pm, Mamiya Theater. FREE.

Again, I said FREE. (They're charging $100 per person to everybody else.) June Jones is the guest speaker and Willie K is among the musical performers. It's a fundraiser for Saint Louis' student-athletes. We are simply guests thanks to Coach Nathan.

You might remember Coach Nathan from the workouts he did with our guys at Makiki Park field about 1-2 years ago. He really respects our team and parents, so he thought of us when he got ahold of extra tickets.

Please respond ASAP so I can let him know this afternoon how many of us can attend. The event is not just about football, but about sports in general. Coach Jones is an excellent speaker, btw. I'm hoping all of our players and parents can commit. Coach Nathan has 50 tickets, so priority goes to players and parents. If there's extra, then siblings.

Please let me know via email or text (551-1054).

Mahalo,
Coach Paul

UPDATE 3:50 pm
Spoke with Coach Nathan just now. He'll allocate all 50 tickets to us. What a blessing and a generous thought by him for our kids. So far I've got 18 tickets reserved by parents and players who have replied to my email or text. Everybody (almost) just got out of school so I'm expecting to hear from you, but if I don't, you aren't going to be on the list. So please call/text ASAP. Text is better since I'm working tonight.

*** DRESS PROPERLY. DRESS PANTS. COLLARED SHIRT. SHOES.

3:00 pm - Pickup by Coach Paul.
4:00 pm - Arrive at Saint Louis/Mamiya Theater.
4:45 pm - Dinner begins.
The festivities will go until 10 pm. Folks who have to leave earlier can do so, but I'm looking forward to hearing June Jones and one of his former players, Jason Rivers, speak most of all.
