To the editor:
This year’s After Prom Party on May 14 was a huge success. Over 120 kids attended the party at Caz Sports Bowl and had a terrific time bowling, playing pool, trivia and casino games and winning prizes. Denny Marconi, of the Sports Bowl, was a tremendously generous host — keeping everything running smoothly throughout and staying until the bitter end.
The Parent Planning Committee of this year’s event — Maureen Carroll, Mary Connor, Chris Gregg, Jyoti Harris, Hanni Kmetz, Susan Light-Olson, Ingrid and Tim Mahoney and Jean Regan — would like to extend our appreciation to those of you who generously donated time, talent, treasure, food, decorations and prizes. In particular, we’d like to thank The Caz Sports Bowl, Tops Markets of Cazenovia, The Pewter Spoon, Subway, The Cazenovia Country Club and The Cazenovia Chamber of Commerce for their support.
Our special thanks to the following who went above and beyond to make the night memorable:
—Jyoti Harris, parent of a junior, for procuring, setting up and cleaning up all of the food/refreshments for the party.
—Jim Nichols, parent of a junior and proprietor of Sharkey’s in Liverpool, for the many prizes he procured for the event.
—Rob Connor, parent of a junior, for MC’ing the evening’s festivities.
—Hanni Kmetz, parent of a junior, for procuring decorations, refreshments and prizes.
—Maria Bauder, parent of a junior, for donating and filling the helium balloons for the party.
—Kevin Eldred, parent of a junior, for his prize donation.
—Nate Hoak, for printing event t-shirts.
—Amy Haube, junior class advisor, for her help with communication and donations.
—Image Press for their artwork.
—Skaneateles Jewelry for their prize donation.
—Wegmans for their continued support of local events.
—Romano Ford of Fayetteville for their support of our kids.
These parent-organized and chaperoned After Parties on the nights of Prom and Ball are incredibly important for keeping our kids safe and would not be possible without the strong and generous support of so many parents, businesses and community groups. Thanks to everyone who helped make this night such a great success!
