47th Anniversary of the 1968 Call Up

Retiree News received this letter from the 1968 Call-Up Reunion Committee

TO: the Members of the Hawaii Army National Guard First Battalion, 299^th Infantry, 29^th Infantry Brigade Maui units: Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Wailuku and Company “C”, Kahului

FROM: The 47^th Anniversary Call-Up “May 13, 1968” Reunion Committee

This letter is to inform you that we will be observing our 47^th Anniversary of the “May 13, 1968” Reunion on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at the Rodeo Arena, Makawao, Maui on Olinda Road. We are planning to have a catered luncheon and activity for that day.

Oh, by the way, if you and your spouse or friend has a specialty dish that you want to share with us, you are more than welcomed to bring it with you. I’m sure we will enjoy every bit of it.

Hopefully this will be more of a relaxed type of an annual gathering where we will have more time to talk story, reminisce the old days, and just have fun. This also would be a gathering where it is the only time we see some of out former National Guard buddies and friends during the whole year. This will give each of us plenty of time to talk story with our buddies since the last reunion I.

This reunion will begins at 10:00am and end at 4:00 pm. We will curtail some of the programs. We have had in the past so we can spend more time congregating, relaxing, eating and participating in whatever events the committee has planned.

The fee for this reunion will be $20.00 per person. We trust that you will mark your calander with the date of the reunion. Again, Mahalo for your past participation and support in making our Annual Call-Ul Reunion a successful one.
