Dinner will be provided by the casino while dessert is crafted by Mad
River Farm, the folks known for their whole-fruit jams and jellies.
Diners will be entertained by dancing from Samba Na Chuva and music by
the Pilot Rock Ramblers. Rex Bohn will oversee a live auction while a
silent auction fills out the evening. Guests will each depart with $10

All proceeds will be donated to the Morris Parent Teacher

in the school’s technology lab, continue funding for student support
services in the library and cover the school’s Artist in Residence
Program.
Last year’s accomplishments include restoration of the school’s
computer instructor, elevation of its music program, expansion of
tutoring for mathematics and professional growth opportunities for
teachers.
