Decorating winners will be announced at the December 20th Board Meeting. Please get your

Centennial Celestial Dinner
Centerpieces Have tall alternating with low centerpieces. Need to figure out a centerpiece
budget. Would like to have some type of light in the centerpieces.
Invitations Will be going in the mail this week. Need to be labeled and posted.
Cotillion Teresa talked to Cotillion about a "late night" food service. A taco bar would be
possible if we don't serve the beef platter and pay $1.50 per person. SEC members would like
to see something more dress friendly. There will be champagne and wine service when guests
arrive. No charge at the coat check. Capannari and Nothing Bundt Cake have agreed to be
part of the Sweet Table. Need to ask Central Continental Bakery if they would make a 100th
anniversary cake. Cotillion can provide the stage that Orchestra 33 is requesting. A DJ needs
to be found and the cigar lady contacted. Kaitlyn Bradley and the PHS combo is still a work in
progress. Need to get to Cotillion to pick out linen so we can proceed on other decisions.
