In the most recent 2007 - 08 academic year, we funded these proposals:

* Boys' basketball team neighbor island tournament, $1000
* Girls' basketball team neighbor island tournament, $1000
* Speech team mainland tournament, $1260

As always, I will try very hard to personally acknowledge receipt of all 2008 ULSAA membership $10/$1 dues paid and additional donations made. If I slip up, however, and you do not hear from me, your name on the list below will indicate that we have received your payment. If you have sent in your dues payment but do not see your name here and have not heard from me, then email me, and I will sort the matter out immediately. Mahalo.

Dues are $10 per year for state-resident grads, $1 per year for out-of-state grads, and $1 per year for non-graduate "friends" regardless of residency. Dues payment is strictly voluntary.

Remember, it's never ever too late to join ULSAA and help support the alumni cause : ) Here's a link to the membership form:
