LHS Vikings Reunion Status
It is necessary for all LHS Alumni to understand that the LHS Vikings Reunion is NOT! A Non Profit Organization. We are a Not for Profit Social Event.

Gala Event
The Gala Event is coming along as planned. As you know, this event will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center on the evening of August 9, 2003. We are in the final stages of signing the contract and placing a deposit.

We can't thank Trish Kane enough for her tremendous effort and hard work in negotiating with SCCC. We know that her task has been difficult and time consuming. She has done a wonderful job. Her committee is planning a fantastic evening for us all. Let us know if you are interested in helping with the Gala Event.

Information regarding hotel rates will be posted on the website soon.

Family Day
There are a lot of great ideas that have been presented to the committee for Family Day.

Unfortunately, we have not received volunteers to assist in the coordination of these ideas. It is our goal to have a Family Day that is just as memorable as the Gala Event but, with out additional support, it will be difficult to do. Won't you join us in planning this historic event? Volunteers may e-mail any other Committee members or myself. Come on board, it's a lot of fun. Please click on the link AVAILABLE POSITIONS OF INTEREST.
