“Classics”

Magnolia Complex, Humble

2. First…
The questions

3. 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)…

4. 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 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. Now…
What’s going to be great about prom

8. 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

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

10. 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?

12. And most importantly
You
