Commodore's Ball!

Hi Everyone,

I know you're all excited for this Saturday because its the commodores ball!

This year, we're changing things up a bit with a different venue as well as some different food and beverages than the ones we had last year!

The location will be in the HUB lyceum. For all of those who are driving, parking is FREE anywhere on campus at the time of the event, so feel free to park anywhere.

The event runs from 8pm to midnight, and will feature dancing, jazz band, food, ALCOHOL, and plenty of others.

The price for tickets is 25$ for a couples ticket and 15$ for a singles ticket! This is extremely cheap for open bar!

So please, go to our website, and purchase your tickets. We have a paypal checkout option, so you're welcome to use your credit card!!!

Here is the link, follow it and you'll be granted access to a fantastic evening.

ONLY if we have left over tickets, will at the door sales be running. (price is +5$ for at door)
