Date: Thu Oct 4, 2001 5:15 pm Subject: Encina Homecoming 2001 - final ENCINA ALUMNI, *** THE HOMECOMING PARTY IS TOMORROW *** We have about 250 alumni and faculty RSVPs for this week's homecoming party, not including family or guests. I would estimate we will have about 350 all told, although some will only be at the game and not at the pregame or postgame parties. I would encourage everyone, especially those who intend to only go to the game, to stop by the cafeteria and pick up a nametag. This is the best way for other alumni to identify you and your class year and aids socializing. It's much easier to chat with someone who has a nametag. In the stadium, I would encourage alumni to sit in the sections reserved for alumni. Last year I was trying to find alumni to take pictures of and folks were scattered everywhere and most didn't have nametags! I will not be at work tomorrow and will be in Sacramento all day. Send last minute rsvps to encina@encinahighschool.com You can see the current RSVP list for the homecoming party here: http://www.encinahighschool.com/homecoming/homecoming2001.htm The full list is appended to the end of this message. NEW alumni rsvps since Tuesday night: Stacey Heidig Nittler 74 Bob Kennedy 74 Mary Dillion Gaines 75 Carol Markell Keller 78 Dan Tuning 79 Lydia Dillion Brushia 80 Robert Hinz 80 (2) Rebecca Dillion Moncrief 85 Hayley Fojut 90 Denise Bellinger 90 I say this every year, but please stop me and introduce yourself at the rally or party or game. I'm the Asian guy with the camera, rushing around and looking busy. Also, I have a big nametag with my name on it. My goal is to meet every alumni and take their picture for the website scrapbook! HOMECOMING 2001 *** IMPORTANT. READ IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND *** Date: Friday, October 5, 2001 Time: 5pm to 1130pm Place: El Camino HS cafeteria Pregame announcements. About 7pm we will make some announcements. We will introduce the faculty in attendance. We will introduce the reunion committee, including those who worked on the float, those who worked on the decorations, and the alumni who are driving in the parade. Alumni challenge organizers Steve Palmer 74 and Bob Goosmann 74 will introduce their teammates who could attend. Clothing. Wear Encina clothing if you have it, else red, white and blue! Contributions. There will be a collection box on the nametag table in the checkin room for voluntary contributions to defray the costs of the homecoming party and website. Yearbooks. Encina will not be able to bring their yearbook collection this year. However, if you would like to bring your yearbook to share with your classmates at the pregame and postgame parties, that would be great. Decorations. Please be sure to thank Chris Moser Taylor 78 and her crew of decorators! Float. Please be sure to thank Paul Stewart 76 and his float crew for their tireless efforts on the alumni float. Nametags. Preprinted nametags will be provided for those who rsvp. There will be blank nametags for those who did not rsvp and for guests who want them. If you are going to the game first, please stop by the cafeteria and pick up your nametag. Even if you have not rsvped, you can make your own nametag using a blank Encina Homecoming nametag. This will identify you as an Encina alumni. We tried taking the nametags to the game two years ago but there's no place to display them. Children. Are welcome to all events! Parking. If the El Camino parking lot is full, there is also a parking lot on Eastern. If you are coming north on Eastern, you can turn right into a big parking lot before you reach the school. . Alcohol. No alcohol please. We need to be on our best behaviour if we are to use school facilities for future homecoming parties. Encina will be providing security and violators will be spanked! Pregame party. Starts at 5pm in the El Camino High School cafeteria. The cafeteria faces El Camino and is located to the left of the main entrance. Look for the Encina Homecoming banner. The entrance is through the faculty dining room on the left end of the cafeteria. Please sign the guest book, get your nametag and have your picture taken if you wish. Classes. The cafeteria will have a eight tables set up for each five years of alumni (61-65, 66-70, etc). Look for your class banner to find your classmates. Please sign in under your classyear so your classmates will know you are at the party. Photos. Throughout the evening, if you see someone with a PHOTO badge, feel free to ask to have your picture taken. Rollin Coxe 64, Steve Palmer 74 and I will be taking pictures for the website scrapbook. Dinner. There will be tables for those who bring food to eat for dinner. Encina will be selling burgers, chips, and drinks. We will provide some snacks and munchies. Faculty. Based on last year's party, most faculty came to the pregame party and only a few stayed for the game and postgame party. If there is someone you want to see, come to the pregame party. Teachers and staff will have FACULTY nametags. Music. Pam Maples Weber 77 and her husband Ed will be providing music for the evening via their karaoke system. If you have a favorite CD you would like them to play from your era, bring it along. Game. The homecoming game starts at 730 in the El Camino stadium. Admission is $5 for adults. Encina will mark off a section or two of the home stands for alumni. This is just so alumni can find classmates more easily. You can sit anywhere you want. Parade. The homecoming parade should start about 830. Drivers should have their cars in the parking lot by 730. Riders should go down to the parking lot behind the stadium by 800 or so. We are providing alumni cars only for the Encina student royalty. Please do not try and ride in any of the alumni cars. This has been a problem in the past. Last year, alumni took the rides that faculty had been promised, much to my chagrin. This year the only alumni rides are on the alumni float, which is by invitation only. Do not crash the parade! Postgame party. After the game, return to the cafeteria from 10 to 1130pm. Encina will be selling coffee and dessert for those who are interested. Have your picture taken with your classmates, siblings, family. Questions. If you have questions, anyone with a COMMITTEE nametag should be able to help you. Remember, NO ALCOHOL OR SMOKING is allowed on campus! If you have a late rsvp, please send your email to your class mailing list. Go Apaches! Go Bulldogs!

HOMECOMING RALLY There will be a homecoming rally at Encina in the morning from 11-1135am. The past two years the alumni have had their own section of the stands and have helped judge the classes. Please let me know if you plan to attend as Encina needs this information in advance. After the rally, stop by the Encina Art Gallery and see the Alumni Art Show. Then anyone's who still around is welcome to join me for lunch at Applebee's, which has lots of Encina memorabilia on display. Last year we had about 50 alumni at the rally. It's quite a nostalgic experience to attend the rally at Encina! HOMECOMING ART SHOW The Art Gallery will also be open Friday after the homecoming rally so that alumni attending the rally can drop by and see the show.
