            |  Dear Community Members and Parents, 
 This year’s Prom is rapidly approaching on May 5th, and Prom will be 
			followed by an “After Prom” party at the high school. This is the 
			30th year for the community to sponsor a drug and alcohol free event 
			following prom. This is an important event for the area and crucial 
			to keeping our young people safe during Prom season. More 
			alcohol-related fatal car crashes among teens occur during Prom 
			season than any other time of the year. This is why we are asking 
			for your support to continue this event at the Mt. Pulaski High 
			School!
 
 “After Prom” starts at 11pm and ends at 5am. It is open to all Mt. 
			Pulaski High School juniors and seniors regardless if they attend 
			Prom or not. Upon entering, each student will sign in. To attend, 
			each student will need a waiver signed by their parent which will 
			need to be turned in to the school. If a waiver is not turned in the 
			student will not be allowed to attend the "After-Prom" party. No 
			Exceptions. The waiver form will be available on the school website 
			or in the office. There will be entertainment, food, and lots of 
			prizes.
 
			
			 This event is sponsored solely through donations. One of the biggest 
			draws of Post Prom is the wonderful prizes that are given during the 
			event to the students in attendance.  
            [to top of second column in this letter] | 
            
			 Please consider making a donation to this 
			worthwhile activity. Your generosity of money, a prize, or a gift 
			card could be the decisive factor in keeping more students at the 
			event. This is an investment in the youth of Mt. Pulaski!
 Donations can be hand carried or mailed to:
 Mt. Pulaski High School Attn: After Prom Party
 206 South Spring Street
 Mt. Pulaski, IL 62548
 
 Please call if you have any questions or if you would like for your 
			donation to be picked up.
 
 Thank you in advance,
 
 Post Prom Committee
