After Prom committee to hold pair of fundraisers
NORWICH – Now in its tenth year, the Norwich After Prom Party committee has planned a pair of fundraisers for the drug- and alcohol-free event, which will be held once again at the Norwich Family YMCA following the junior class prom on May 19.
From 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday, committee members will hold a bottle drive at the Norwich Fire Station and those interested in donating have two options: drop off their returnable containers there or call 316-0999 for pick-up. On April 27, 20 percent of all sales at the Canasawacta Country Club will be donated to the After Prom Party, a great opportunity for a family dinner, date night or girl’s night out, said committee co-chairs Deborah Sutton and Mary Carson.
Sponsored by the high school’s Students Against Drunk Driving chapter, the After Prom Party offers a “safe, secure and monitored event” for high school students after the prom, according to committee members. In 2010 and 2011, approximately 80 percent of those attending the prom also attended the After Prom Party, more than 200 students each year. The committee, said Carson and Sutton, would like to see that statistic increase to 100 percent.
It’s all about student safety, they added.
“We want to keep kids safe after the prom,” stressed Sutton. “There are a lot of fun events ... we want to make kids interested enough so they will want to attend.”
This year, from midnight to 5 a.m., students will enjoy a hypnotist, magician, mechanical bull, blow-up bounce houses, poker, blackjack, a photo booth, cash machine, DJ and more. In addition, there will be “lots of prizes and giveaways,” added Sutton, such as a flat-screen television, a pair of $500 cash prizes, movie passes, an iPad 2 and a laptop computer, all donated locally.
Added Sutton, “It’s just a great event ... it’s exciting.”
The committee is also seeking chaperones, and those interested should contact Sue Layman at laymanm@roadrunner.com by April 27 to volunteer. This year’s promenade will begin at 7 p.m in the high school auditorium, where students – and their dates – will have a chance to be introduced, have their picture taken and witness the crowning of the 2012 Prom Court. Prom tickets are $35 per person and will be sold during lunch bells in the high school cafeteria.
