Menu is the same as last year:- French Pork Chop- Chicken Florentine - Classic Chicken Marsala-Dinner- (vegan plate will be listed ASAP)

Decore

Tables: I requested that our tables be black and yellow, with corresponding napkins. I would also like to have some “fun” center pieces. (Flowers by Pat?)

Senior Banners

The flag idea is cool, but our resources are limited with space and money. I propose we still have time dedicated to our seniors. Instead of banners we could use Copy Cat to print out boards of our photos to display at the front of the fireplace. We could do senior farewells in substitution of the Marty Bowe speeches from last year.

Pictures

All pictures will be sent to you via email, they are also on website

Fundraising

Tickets/ Raffle- This will be our main source of income for this event. Each cadet will be responsible for selling 100 tickets or paying $80 for themselves and a date. We will also throw gift cards (from where) into our raffle. This will be conducted for two weeks in order to raise as much money as possible.

Priorities

Our number 1 priority right now is to complete an invite list. VIPs, Alumni, Staff, parents, ect. This will give us a better outline of the event and a seating chart.

Our second is paying for it and finding our budget. This will decide how fancy we can get with this event.
