"Noche Tropical" on Saturday, July 18, at the OLG School Grounds, 4-10 pm, Tribute to the Fathers Club Members.
This event was brought to my attention by another LHS alum several weeks back, with the accompanying letter below providing a comprehensive report. Of course, time moved faster than I expected and this late posting is the result, with the date here already. The Chico Band, a versatile and seasoned band that provides something for everyone, will be playing. That alone is worth the ticket price. Some of you may remember them as the band that played for the 1998 LHS Gala at the Biltmore Hotel where they did an outstanding job as a dance band.INFORMATIONAL NOTE: The Guadalupe School ("Our Lady of Guadalupe School") is an elementary school that goes up to 8th grade.
"Dear Alumni and Friends:
We are so excited for our upcoming event, “Noche Tropical” on Saturday, July 18, at the OLG School Grounds, 4-10 pm, that we have decided to pay Tribute to the Fathers Club Members that for so many years served the children of OLG and the community with their hard work and dedication. We now need to thank them and recognize their efforts. If you have one of these great gentlemen in your family, please get in touch with us so that we can add his name to our guest list.
Everyone is working together to make this night amazing and just as special and memorable as our last event in May. Our purpose to provide Our Lady of Guadalupe School students with resources that will give them the opportunity to realize their dreams and become leaders in our society is now becoming a reality. We did well in our last event but that was only the beginning!
Please invite your friends, relatives, and other classmates so that they may also experience these life changing experiences with us. We all are very grateful for the support and love that was shared by many at our beloved OLG School.
Putting on these events takes special acts of kindness and generosity to make them profitable. We encourage you to help us by donating any amounts of cash that will go toward the following items:

As I reflect on the work we are doing and thinking about our alumni, it excites me to hear the new and positive experiences our young and older alumni are having at this time in our lives. Being able to hear and experience these things with you, makes me more eager to serve you, our community and our school. It states in the Holy Bible that you must be able to "Give to Receive." There is no doubt that we have been given the best gift of all by being able to attend our beloved OLG School. The families of OLG are truly special because our history, tradition, and culture are evident in the parents and grandparents that sacrificed to send us to our school.
On behalf of the children, staff and faculty of Our Lady of Guadalupe School, we thank you and we look forward to seeing you at “Noche Tropical.”
With Love and respect,
Paul Villarreal
OLG Alumni President
Class of 1990"
