THSG Teen & Alumni
WINTER FORMAL 2019
Shadow Soiree
(A.K.A. The Groundhog's Ball)

The Homeschool Gossip is thrilled to be hosting our first Formal Dance!
Join your friends on February 2, 2019 (Groundhog's Day) 
for a magical evening of food, fun, dancing and games!

This is a "Creative Black Tie" event!
What does that mean? 
Think of creative black tie as trendy black tie, 
formal attire with a bit of whimsy, if you choose!

Such as for the gentlemen, a suit with a whimsical tie, socks or suspenders.  
For the ladies, a cocktail dress or formal gown 
with a whimsical hairpiece, scarf or gloves.
As with any dance, we ask that whatever you choose to wear be PG :-). 

If you have questions, please contact jbennetti.thsg@gmail.com. 

And for a bit of fun, our event is being held on Groundhog's Day!
Will the Groundhog see his Shadow?

Details, Rules & Guidelines

We'll have magical evening of music and dancing, as well as a "game-bar" to order up some fun for those who may not want to dance. Photo booth and the Groundhog's Gallery of Games. Hor d'oeuvres, desserts and refreshments will be served as well.

This is a "Drop-Off" Event

• All attendees must check in on arrival. A chaperone will be outside checking people in.
• Parents are welcome to gather outside. We know some people are traveling to the event, parents are welcome to gather outside the venue to visit, we just ask you do not block the parking area or the entrance to the dance.  There are many restaurants and coffee places nearby.  The venue is just not large enough to accommodate all the guests, their parents and siblings.  A map of nearby locations will be provided.
• Attendance is conditional upon respectful behavior at the discretion of the hosts. Parents will be notified of any disruptive behavior. 
• There are volunteer parents that will be running and chaperoning the dance.  We appreciate parents offering to chaperone, but we can not accept all of the offers. We simply do not have enough space to accommodate everyone. We do have some areas where we need help at the dance, please contact jbennetti.thsg@gmail.com to find out the details.

Food

• PLEASE DO NOT BRING OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS! Hor d'oeuvres, desserts and refreshments will be served. There are no outside food or drinks allowed in the facility to keep this is a Nut-Free allergen event. There will be Gluten Free and Vegetarian options.  If you have other allergen concerns, please contact jbennetti.thsg@gmail.com prior to January 28, 2019.

Music

• All of the music played at this event are clean radio edited versions of the Top 100 Hits.
• We can take song requests prior to the dance, but do not guarantee they will be played. Music is purchased before the dance and is being provided by volunteers rather than a professional DJ. You may send your requests to jbennetti.thsg@gmail.com.
