together so that we can make this a sellout event! That is rightstarting in June, CAC Deltas will have any opportunity to purchase
and pick out your seats in advance. Be sure to contact all of your
guests and get their checks in advance to turn in at our June chapter
meeting. Tickets are $75 (VIP reception/6:00pm & show), $50 Show
only (8:00pm), and $25 for students (21 and under with valid school
ID). Each ticket includes a one year subscription to Ebony or 6 month
subscription to Jet, plus a chance to win great prizes! Ebony will give
to the highest ticket seller special recognition and a chance to win
an all expense paid trip for you and a guest to a U.S. city of your
choice, once the tour concludes in 2009.
Also, as a very special bonus, we are offering to pay local dues for
the top ticket seller in our chapter!! The second ($50) and third ($25)
place winners will receive DELTA DOLLARS. WOW!!
Sorors, this is exciting! Thank you in advance for your support. For
questions, feel free to call 258-3799 or [email protected]
