 AUCTION LUMINARY SALE

The auction committee is hard at work for our upcoming evening of "All Things Southern" on March 10, 2006.  We hope you are making plans to attend.  As part of our decorations for the evening, we plan to line the drive and walkways at the club with luminaries.  These are available for you to purchase in honor of teachers, family and friends.  Your name will be listed in the program along with those who are being honored.  Luminaries may be purchased for $5.00.  Forms can be found in both school offices and will be sent home in Friday folders.  This will be a fun way that students can become involved in our auction.  Deadline for returning forms is Friday, February 24.

*In the event of rain, we will not light the luminaries.  However, your name will still appear in the program.
