Making Things Happen
Some people want it to happen,
some wish it to happen,
others make it happen.
some wish it to happen,
others make it happen.
A big mahalo to the over 150 alumni volunteers who help make things happen for YOU and your alma mater! As a small token of appreciation for all that they do ... Mid-Pacific Institute hosted a Mahalo Dinner in July for the hard-working alumni who volunteer their time and energy for MPI alumni activities. This year, the volunteers were treated to a prime rib dinner buffet and sushi bar.
If you would
like to be one of those alumni who help make things happen ... please
contact Alumni Director Kerry Gudoy at (808) 951-8856 or
