Soiree Attendees:

Please be sure to bring your checkbook or cash to the Soiree tomorrow night.   We will be taking credit cards (for the live and silent auction), however keep in mind that credit card companies do take a small percentage of the total, which means less for the school if you charge.

Also, please do not park in St. Mary’s lot.  Please use the staff lots and on-street parking.
