Help Send the McKinley Football Team to Oregon
Coach Joe Cho (McKinley Class of '72), current head football coach at McKinley, is looking for any assistance in the form of donations, sponsorships, etc., to help offset the costs for a planned team trip on August 29, 2012, to play La Salle Catholic College Prepatory, a high school in Oregon. The current head football coach of La Salle, Tim Bowman, is also a McKinley alumnus from the Class of '77.
Since Coach Cho left Oregon 2 years ago to return to Hawaii to coach at McKinley, he and Coach Bowman had talked about setting up a game between McKinley and La Salle. This was the year they wanted to do it. Unfortunately, our football team's fundraising efforts up to this point have not been as good as they had expected it to be. Now they need your help.
As a gesture of appreciation, Coach Cho can put your name or business on their game programs as a sponsor of the team and of McKinley High School, and of course sending you a picture of the team in Oregon with a big thank you on the picture. And you'll also take with you a sense of Tiger Pride by helping the team fulfill this opportunity to play in Oregon against a team coached by another McKinley alumnus.
You can contact Coach Cho by email at Joseph_Cho@notes.k12.hi.us, or by phone at (808) 594-0400 ext. 2087. And you can also catch up on the football team at their Web site: www.mckinleytigersfootball.com.

Guy Hagi Visits McKinley

Alumni e-Pinion Available
To help us cut costs in printing and postage, we're making the Alumni Pinion available to Alumni Association members via email. But more importantly, the money used towards printing and postage is money that could be used towards more support of school programs (Robotics, JROTC, etc.) and student scholarships. In addition to helping us reduce expenses, an added benefit to you would be the instant gratification of receiving the Alumni Pinion via email instead of waiting for it via "snail mail." You will also get to view most of the pictures in color, whereas the pictures are black and white in print.
Subscribe to the e-Pinion now! (Reminder: You need to be a member of the Alumni Association to receive the Alumni Pinion - paper or electronic.)
The e-Pinion is sent as a PDF file which can be viewed using the free Adobe Reader.
