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.

My avatar is my actual Senior Prom photo (1977) and the photo is fuzzy because all I could find was the small 2x3 picture. Even so, you gotta love it, espcecially the fake stone background (and is that a shiny blue faux waterfall behind us??) Note that the dress comes all the way up to the neck. Ha! My date was dressed in the tux-color-of-the-year and his shoes are VERY white. Those were some good ole days.
Your prom dress was actually quite beautiful....for the 70's. Really! The tux, not so much. :biggrin:

There will be big dance floor- so get ready Lisa!

Here is a little Heloise hint- put your name and phone number on your camera. With all the cameras and spiked punch, I have a feeling we will have a small collection of cameras to reunite with their owners.;-)

Some of you might also want to put your name and address on your person so they can get you home. :wave:

The official countdown to prom night for the elderly: I'm starting the South Beach Diet and revamping my running starting tomorrow...:blink:

Who the heck decided to do this stupid thing a week after my birthday? I had too much cake!

Where can I get ribs removed at the last minute? Skunky?

Lisa can't find a dance floor big enough!

Great idea about the camera, what about tall dancers that pass out from disco dancing? Will y'all be collecting those too? Hope Skunky's there as I am afraid FFF is gonna hurt himself. :blink:

Even better idea! Where do you suggest putting this? (I'm thinking sharpie on the heinie)

I have a Reynolds Handi-Vac that maybe BB can use to fit you in your dress like a sausage in its casing. I myself am bringing a shoe horn for when my neck escapes my collar.

From what I can tell, I am the last person on the planet to discover Spanx and the similar "foundation" garments. I made Punzy go with me for moral support, on a Spanx shopping adventure.

While they are not my cup of tea, they do the job. I think. I bought a size bigger so I could breath, but I think the point is to be packed in them like a sausage. So maybe they won't be working, but at least I won't pass out.

I'm very familiar with those, but that won't make my old prom dress fit!! So I got 2! Little extra room in the top, but all else fits- I'll be pinned to the hilt, but I'm ready!!:wave:

Woo hoo! Check out this updated prom info- best idea yet is the "Prom Plastic"! :clap:


Prom
F.A.Q:

Do I have to dress up?
Absolutely not. If you come in normal party attire, we will promptly issue you a chaperone tag. You can't enforce the rules (there aren, but you can party!

If I am not at a pre-purchased table, will I have somewhere to sit?
Yes, we will have general admission tables, cocktail tables, and other seats lining the party.

Do I need to bring any cash?
No, we can swipe your credit card at the door and issue you some "Prom Plastic," which you can use to buy photo-booth prints, memberships and subscriptions, or make campaign donations.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]II can't be at the Prom, but I want to win that Napa Valley trip! Can I?
Yes, winners need not be present to win. In fact, you can buy individual tickets online by clicking here. See the sidebar above for details on the drawing.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]
Can I donate to more than one campaign?
Of course! We recommend it, in fact. You never know who might win, and you don't want to be out of favor with the court!

Who will be tallying the campaign results?
We understand that this is Florida, so any election is met with suspicion. So we have entrusted our bookkeeper, who is of the utmost integrity, and is not affiliated with any campaign to tally the "votes."
