ST. PATRICKS DAY BASH & AUCTIONS

     Saturday, March 15th is the date for the St. Patrick’s Day Bash & Silent and Live Auctions that will take place at Klein Creek Golf Club, 1 N 333 Pleasant Hill Road in Winfield beginning at 7 PM. The ticket price of $20 per person includes hors d’oeuvres and dessert. Live music will be provided by This End Up. A cash bar is available.

     Community police departments call prom month the “deadliest month of the year.” The Committee invites all members of the community to come together to help keep our high school students safe on prom night. The After Prom event was started by a group of parents in 1994, and thanks to parental and community support, has continued every year since. By giving high school students an alternative to home parties, hotel rooms and camping trips we can offer them the opportunity to “hang” together in a safe, substance-free, adult chaperoned environment to continue the prom night fun and create lasting memories.

     This year students will be bussed after prom to Lifetime Fitness in Bloomingdale. Some activities include the climbing wall, swimming pool, hot tub, slide, money machine, karaoke, giant floor twister game, guitar hero, bungee run, moon bounce, bungee bull, caricature artists as well as a disc jockey and food including breakfast. Busses will depart from Community High School at 11:30 pm and return to the high school at 5 am. The proceeds of the St. Patrick’s Day Bash & Auctions, coupled with donations from individuals and corporations, will lower the cost of the After Prom ticket and allow more students to attend. The Committee’s fundraising goal is to subsidize the ticket cost for all, and in addition, offer more substantial scholarships to students in financial need.

     Donations for the silent and live auctions, as well as cash donations, for the After Prom event are still being accepted. Please call Deb Ramsey at 630/202-9654 or Mary Beth Taylor at 630/664-9366 to make a donation. Tickets for the Bash & Auctions may be purchased in West Chicago at Pal Joeys, Sandpiper Restaurant and the State Bank of Illinois or by calling 630/202-9654. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $25.

     This year’s party is bound to be, at the very least, equal to last years’ resounding success! Please plan to join parents, teachers, community members, business owners, alumni and community leaders on St. Patrick’s Day as they come together for the safety and benefit of our children.
