SAVE THE DATE (and find one) FOR THE PROM!

[FONT=&quot]Save the Date (and make sure to find one) for ?The Prom,? a retro-celebration to benefit the Seaside Repertory Theatre, a non-profit organization and the only professional year-round theatre company in Northwest Florida. ?The Prom,? which has been relocated to the Lyceum Lawn in Seaside, will be held Friday, April 18th at 7pm and will offer dancing to the party tunes of Hotwire, great food by Criolla?s, a full hosted bar complete with spiked punch, and crazy fun with absolutely no silent auction! The highlight of the evening will be the crowning of ?The Prom? King and Queen! Prom-goers are encouraged to dress reminiscent of their own high school prom so that attire will span the decades, or come as a ?Chaperone? dressed in normal party wear.[/FONT] Tickets to ?The Prom? are $100 and can be purchased by calling 850.231.0733 or at www.seasiderep.org. Reserved tables for eight are also available for $1,000 and must be reserved by phone. [FONT=&quot] ?The Prom? is sponsored by Dungan-Nequette Architects and Tracery Interiors.

Tickets will be sold from March 10th until 9:30pm on the night of ?The Prom? with the winner being announced at 10pm. 2nd and 3rd prizes will be announced and awarded that evening.

It was color-coordinated to match my gown! Mahthamadear gave it to me and when I lost it she gave me another one. I think she had a whole stash of them tucked in her toilet-paper stuffed bosom. :lol:

I am still swooning over this! Thanks EVERYONE! :clap:

Great prom week story- I love how our friends come to SoWal on vacation and work when they get here. Mermaid and Mermaid spent 2 days working their butts off for the Prom - from flower arranging to a caulking project in the Rep office. Those 2 are like Energizer bunnies. And Miss Kitty has some serious poster making/glitter skillz! :clap:

Thanks to y'all-
