Here is every committee, who chairs it, and what each one needs right now. To sign up, send an e-mail to [email protected] with the committee name in the subject line, and tell us your name, your senior's name, and the best time to reach you. We forward every e-mail to the chair the same night. No computer? Send a note to school with your senior, attention Ms. O'Shea. You don't have to have run anything before. You just have to show up. |

| FOOD & BEVERAGES · Chair: Joan Delbosque |
|
Food every two hours on the night: pizza at 11, a sub and taco bar at 1, ice cream sundaes at 3, and a
hot breakfast at 4:30 so nobody drives home hungry. (The seniors aren't driving. You know what we mean.) Openings: • 12 kitchen volunteers on the night, in two-hour shifts. • Anyone with a connection to a restaurant or a grocery store who might donate breakfast for 350. • Donations of 2-liter sodas and bottled water, starting in May. Please don't bring them yet. Our garages are full. |

casino tables, the basketball tournament and the movie room. Openings: • 8 casino dealers. We will teach you blackjack. Play money only. • 2 scorekeepers for the 3-on-3 basketball tournament. • Anyone who owns a karaoke machine, or knows someone who does. |
| PRIZES & DONATIONS · Chair: Teresa McElwain |
|
Every senior goes home with something, and the grand prize is a car. Teresa has the donation letter
on school letterhead, ready to copy. Openings: • 4 askers to visit businesses near where you work or shop. Teresa will give you a list so two of us don't walk into the same pizza place. • 1 record keeper to log every donation and write the thank-you notes. |
| DECORATIONS & THEME · Chair: Lisa Wendel |

gold lamé and Christmas lights. Openings: • 10 people for set-up the afternoon of graduation day. • Painters for backdrops, starting in March. You don't have to be good. Lisa will draw the lines. • Anybody with a garage or basement where the backdrops can live until June. |

will be hired for the night. Openings: • 8 parents for the check-in table, 10:30 p.m. to midnight. • 4 parents per shift on the exit doors. Bring a book. Nobody gets out, and nobody gets in. |
| TRANSPORTATION · Chair: Wendell Beeler |

January. Openings: • 2 people for the ticket table at senior lunch, one day a week, January through May. • Someone who can make flyers on a computer. (Carlton offered. Sandra said thank you, she'd keep looking.) |
| CLEAN-UP CREW · Chair: OPEN! |
| Somebody has to take down Monte Carlo at 5:30 in the morning and hand the building back by 8. This is the one committee with no chair yet, and it's a good one for a parent who can't do evenings but doesn't mind an early alarm. We need a chair and 12 helpers. Coffee provided. Lots of coffee. |

THE NIGHT ITSELF: 90 PARENTS
Besides the committees, we need parents to work two-hour shifts on graduation night. Parents of seniors work the kitchen, the doors and the office, not the party rooms, so the seniors have their night. Parents of juniors and younger kids are wanted in the party rooms. Next year, we'll return the favor. |
| Shift | Needed |
| 10 p.m. to midnight (check-in) | 24 |
| Midnight to 2 a.m. | 22 |
| 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. | 22 |
| 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. (breakfast and prizes) | 22 |
| Total | 90 |
| Shift sign-ups open in the spring. For now, just tell us you're in. |
