“Classics” May 11th, 7-11pm Magnolia Complex, Humble Prom 2013 “Classics” May 11th, 7-11pm Magnolia Complex, Humble

First… The questions

Why Magnolia Center? We were going to have prom at the Walden Country Club Pervious years $75 for the room rental $1400 for the food This year $1000 for the room rental That’s $2400 for just a room and food No decorations, DJ, gift bags, security (required)…

Why not raise more $? Wanted to keep prom ticket prices low Had a week of spirit wear Had a car wash Sold advertisements and asked for money from individuals Prom committee members visited over 80 shops asking for donations Members asked at events and organizations they attend Sent email to every junior and senior parent asking for donations and asking for help raising money Wanted to keep prom ticket prices low No where near $2400

Why not somewhere else? Contacted 15 other locations Already booked for May 11th Cost as much or more than Walden Not an “approved vendor” by Humble ISD Would not accept payment format Humble ISD uses

Why weren’t you Asked? That’s what prom committee is for Prom committee has been meeting since October Meeting days/times on school announcements, in school newsletter, on FB, on board in Mrs. Shmaefsky’s room, on her webpage, spoken in class and by word of mouth Open to juniors and seniors

Now… What’s going to be great about prom

location Ok, if you’ve driven by the Magnolia Complex (on Wilson road across from the bowling alley), the building you can see from the road doesn’t look so good. But, our building looks good with lots of room and a pretty deck, garden, and gazebo in the back

Theme Quest Prom 2013 Our theme is “Classic”, think… Old Hollywood Glamour 20’s – 50’s Great Gatsby/Art Deco Quest Prom 2013

food Instead of a lot of a few things to try, there will be many different kinds of foods to eat Maybe a chocolate fountain?
