A letter was sent home today regarding donations for the raffle baskets and silent auction. Please ask your child for it. We need each 8th grade family to please try to obtain at least one major basket item.
I have been asked by a few what Monte Carlo Night is like; so for those who are unfamiliar with the event here are some more details.
We hire a group to bring their gaming tables -- black jack, roulette and craps. Our guests play for chips which are turned in for raffle tickets. You can then browse the baskets and enter your tickets into the raffle for the baskets of your choosing. A few baskets are raffled every 15 minutes or so throughout the entire night. Everyone loves winning so winning a basket is quite a thrill. The more baskets the better. We hold a silent auction also, with the opportunity to bid on and buy some of the bigger prizes. Past offerings include Disneyland tickets, Dodger tickets, jewelry and surf boards. A few local restaurants come and offer a "taste" of their delicious foods and desserts (this is not a sit down dinner). Past food "tastes" have included sushi, pasta, hot wings and salads to name a few. A no-host bar is open all night with mixed drinks, beer, wine and soft drinks. As mentioned earlier, this year we will also be introducing HORSERACING, with the opportunity to "own", jockey and bet on the horses. It's a fun night of games, socializing, good food and drinks. Make plans to attend and bring your friends. Tickets will be on sale after the New Year.
