The Year 10 MSPTA representatives is helping organize the Marist School Graduation Ball 2011, specifically the venue, physical arrangements and food for the event. We have reserved the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel Grand Ballroom (maximum capacity: 350 people) on March 25, 2011 for this event.
The program itself will be handled by the graduating class and their teachers.
For the event, the basic costs related to the event such as venue fees, sounds, lights, photo and food will be paid by the attendees as ticket costs.
Minor fund raising events such as the cake/cookie raffles and booth sales during the Marist fair will defray “luxury” expenses such as decoration, photo booths and event souvenirs.
The event will be from 6pm to midnight on March 25, 2011, the Friday after Graduation Day. Many graduates are expected to attend, with optional partner/”date”. Highlights of the event will be dinner, program, dancing and lots of pictures.
We are nearing our minimum targets for ticket sales and hopeful we will have enough funds to fund the basic necessities for the graduation ball event (buffet dinner, sounds and lights). However, we still need to sell graduation ball tickets to fund the hotel expenses, and cake raffle tickets to fund the photo booth, video coverage and event souvenirs. We urge YOU to campaign for additional graduation ball ticket sales, and additional cake raffle sales to make this a success.
The cake raffle sales will provide students an opportunity to earn cash ( and pay for part of their graduation ball tickets ). If we sell a lot more graduation ball tickets, we might even be able to issue refunds. If we sell a lot more cake raffle tickets, the students might be able to afford to raffle off some electronics ( an iPad perhaps? )
Let us support the Graduation Ball!
