Alumni get-together and Lakers on big screen

The LHS Alumni had the Shakey's fundraiser in Alhambra last night that was fun for the brief time that I could stay, but the real attention went to the Lakers game at home against Denver on the big screen t.v. The mood was very exuberant with the Lakers in the lead when I left. The whole atmosphere was enjoyable though staying on the boistrous side with the game's progress a foremost concern. The next event will probably allow for a little more relaxation and mild conversation without a Laker lead being in constant danger.

The next organized item will be the Appreciation Dinner for Coaches Giancanelli and Wagner on Saturday, June 6, 2009, at Steven's Steak House in Commerce. Even though May ticket deadline passed, see flyer for contact info to call if you still want to buy tickets.

Next Alumni meeting and elections, too, on Saturday, June 20.

Reminder- Tomorrow, Alumni fundraising at Shakey's Pizza, Alhambra

The LHS Alumni Association is having a fundraiser event THURSDAY night, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Shakey's Pizza in Alhambra (2234 W. Valley Blvd., Alhambra) just East of Fremont Ave. and west of Atlantic- check map

It's a casual affair just to get alumni together without a lot of fuss and to raise some money for the assorted events and awards that are sponsored by the Alumni Association. (See Fundraiser Flyer.)

You can come by and stay for as long as you like, or even get an order to-go that helps out, but be sure to designate the receipts at time of purchase which will generate a share going to the Alumni Association.

Come by, even call a few friends to come with you, and spend some time to see some old faces (some more old than others- time goes by more quickly than you might realize) and catch up on what's been happening and what's planned, as well as bringing up a few old memories- especially vividly recalled in the area of LHS sports, with accuracy an optional feature.

Just a low-key event, as a change from some of the past events, to attend in a come-as-you-are setting to relax and enjoy.
