The fine folks at the Hilton have set aside a few discounted rooms for the El Toro High School class of 1988 reunion. But they’re going fast. So if you’re planning on coming into town for the reunion or you just want a night away from the kids and plan to stay at the hotel, you better book quickly.

There's a new "feature" on the El Toro High School Class of '88 website. By popular demand, when you go to the Where Are You? map, you will find a link below the actual map which provides you with a listing of all the folks who have contributed a marker to the map. Once you click on that link, along the left side of the page you will see all the names. Just click on a name and you will see their "bubble" appear on the map. Now it is much easier to find that person you've been looking for all this time!

If there is anything else you'd like to see on our site, let us know.

Between the Where Are You marker map showing the current locations of fellow classmates, the stay connected email subscription for the ETHS Class of '88 website and of course the handy-dandy work of Creative Reunions, we've been able to track down contact info for about 85% of our graduating class. However, there are about 100 classmates we haven't been able to track down. This is where you can help.

What's that you say? Family pictures of people your spouse doesn't even know won't get him/her to the event? Up the anté you say? Well, in our endless pursuit for "How to Keep Your Spouse Entertained at the Reunion" we give you Tip #2: 80s trivia. Com'mon you know it's entertaining. Heck if worse comes to worse, you can make a drinking game out of it. It beats throwing bottle caps into a cup across the table and it is probably a tad classier too :)

With less than five months to go before the reunion, we thought it would be a good idea to start sharing some thoughts and ideas on how to keep your significant other from dosing off from boredom at our reunion. Sure it will be loads of fun to talk about winning the CIF football championship or maybe when someone (ahem) filled Mr Holst's car with packing chips at graduation practice. Yeah, fun stuff for us. But fodder for counting sheep if you are the poor spouse having to endure all these "great stories."

Ahh, the best laid plans. Just when you think you have everything all sorted out for the reunion, you learn something. The company you have retained to assist in managing your high school reunion offers online registration for the event. Cool. But the online registration isn't secure. Uncool.

This week Creative Reunions, the company retained to coordinate all the logistics for our reunion, started sending out "save the date" announcements. With these announcements came pricing and registration information.

Just two weeks after we hit 50 pictures contributed to the website, we now have passed 50 markers placed on the "Where Are You?" map.

We've been getting a lot of great feedback from those of you who have visited the site. One idea was a place to be able to discuss ideas, catch up with others and coordinate "unofficial" reunion plans. To help us all out with these areas, we now have forums on the website (www.ethsclassor88.org/forum).

We were still in El Toro, California in 1988. Some stayed nearby, others moved far, far away. Here is your opportunity to share with others in our class where you are living now.

Calling all ETHS class of '88 alumni... With our 20th reunion less than a year away, we have big plans for the event. One of them is a slideshow. Ohhh, ahhhh. In addition to some of the pictures from our high school year book and the slideshow assembly at the end of our senior year (yeah, we still have the slides), we'd like you to contribute pictures to the effort. Not just pictures from back in the day, but also pictures of you and yours from "today." To learn how to submit pictures, please keep reading.

A group of former classmates have started to put together plans for our 20th. Yeah, hard to believe. As we get our act together, we will be posting more information on this site. So be sure and come back every now and then. Or one better, subscribe to our periodic ETHS Class of '88 email update and you will get a periodic email as we post new information.
