You’re invited to an AS/ISM CHOWDOWN in the SF Bay Area!
Linda Jhong Palermo ’83 and her band The Minks (All-girls Kinks Cover Band) play at Rancho Nicasio in Marin County.
Join us for dinner and the show. Come dancing!


Can you believe it’s been almost 40 years since we marched out of the Spruance gym and into the world?
It’s time to reunite, reconnect, and most of all, PARTY!
We need an accurate head count ASAP.
Your reunion committee is working hard so that we can all party hard!
We are so excited to get together with you all!

Our main event is at Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati.
(Formerly the Manila Garden Hotel Nikko.)
Centrally located in the pedestrian-friendly Glorietta Mall area, this world-class hotel is across from the old Quad Carpark (remember the bumper cars?) Dusit is offering our class a special rate for its well-appointed rooms and luxurious suites.
There are other hotel options within walking distance. The large chains are Holiday Inn, Raffles/Fairmont, New World and Ascot. There are also small boutique hotels along Arnaiz Avenue by San Lorenzo Village.
Get ready for a fun-filled weekend celebration in sunny Manila!
Stay longer and enjoy the myriad vacation destinations the Philippines is famous for. It’s more fun in the Philippines – TARA NA!
We’re so happy to annouce that the AS/ISM “Chowdown” Mini-Reunions are BAAAACK!
AS a reminder, CHOWDOWNS are local gatherings for AS and ISM alums. Often we meet for a meal, sometimes for a drink or two.
Chowdowns started in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been happening all over the world.
Here’s the next one:
Bay Area alums come enjoy a rocking live event on April 8 in Redwood City.
Linda Jhong Palermo ’83 will be performing with not just one, but two incredible cover bands. Many of you know that Linda plays keyboards with an all-girl Kinks cover band called THE MINKS.
On April 8 at Club Fox in Redwod City Linda will also play with REBEL REBEL, which is – what else – a David Bowie cover band!
Sige na! Kaya join na lang kayo. Let’s all have a good time!
The Jeepney Gang
Mabuhay!
