Thank you for joining us for CountryDate 2019. As you may have already noticed, this year’s event is different from past CountryDates, but the goal remains the same; to raise vital dollars to support educational excellence, outstanding athletics and arts programs, financial assistance for students, and support for our outstanding faculty. Our aim this year is to create a more relaxed and fun event where all members of our community can participate. And what better way to celebrate than with a Mardi Gras theme? We invite you to eat, drink and enjoy yourself, while playing games of chance, bidding on fantastic auction items, purchasing raffle tickets, and enjoying time with friends, family and faculty. As they say in New Orleans, laissez les bons temps rouler - Let the Good Times Roll!
