2008 GDHS Reunion Picnic

Hi Everyone!

It's been almost 8 months since I last posted! Time sure goes by fast when you're busy ;) My freelance writing projects are many and I haven't been able to keep up with many of my blogs.

I've been meaning to let you know about the 2nd Annual SOCAL Alumni picnic reunion which is taking place at Mission Bay in San Diego on August 23, 2008. If you plan on attending, contact Ruben Pandes via email: rpandes [at] peoplepc [dot] com so that he can put you on the attendee list. For details and more information about the event, click here. You can also check out a list of attendees (the list was published on July 6, so I'm sure there are more people that have been added).

Here are a couple pictures from last year's picnic...

I'll be there...will you?

GDHS Summer Picnic 2007

Yup, I'm pretty bummed out about missing the reunion in San Diego this past Saturday, but what can I say? Life happens and we must move on... There will be plenty more chances for our paths to cross, you can be sure of that! Thanks to those of you who helped put it together ;)

Well, thank God for GDHS.org where I can still connect virtually with many of you. Here are a couple pictures from the picnic courtesy of Lyzz Stauffer. Salamat!



If you attended the reunion and would like to submit pictures to be posted here, you can email them to me: maria [at] salondemaria [dot] info.

I will be back in San Diego on the 18th of July. If anybody would like to get together for a cup of coffee or some cocktails, let me know!

GDHS "Get Together"

Perhaps I jumped the gun on my previous post. In case you didn't read the comment from the post, I wanted to publish it here on a separate post to clarify any confusion:

Hi Maria,

Thanks for putting the word out on the picnic. Well, technically it is a Reunion of sorts, but, not a full fledge Reunion with the Dinner and Dance bit. Just a small picnic that has gotten larger to the point that we have moved it to East Mission Bay. This get together is just to finally attempt who is really down here in Socal so that we can get a good registry for our group started. From this initial picnic we can hopefully plan other events and functions and quickly communicate it to everyone. So far we have close to 70 alumni identified, not including any 90's alumni, yet. This is really quite a number when over 50 percent of the emails listed on the Dewey website registry are no longer valid. So, everyone out there please update your email.

So here is to a terrific picnic in July.

Also by the way I do not run the Dewey website, that would be Sam Simbulan, Class of 1988. If any of you guys get "The Filipino Channel" he is the Director of the show, Pinagmulan. It is a show that documents a Filipinos' return home to the Philippines after an extended absence. Lots of good human interest stories. There you go Sam, another plug. He is doing a great job.

Take care,

Ruben Pandes 1975

By the way, if you're from the 90's era of GDHS and would like to attend, let me know via comments below. So far we have many RSVP's, but hardly anybody from the 90's!

GDHS Reunion 2007!

I've been emailing back and forth with Ruben Pandes who runs the GDHS.org site and it looks like there will be a reunion this year!

The tentative date is set for July 7. We were thinking Balboa Park, but from reading the GDHS forum, East Mission Bay is also a possibility. Now that I think about it, Mission Bay does sound more fun! Beach volleyball, yes!

If you would like to help with planning this event, leave a comment below!
