Marcellus Crystal Ball Cruise (May 22, 2004)

Information for Drivers (Car owners)

The Marcellus High School Ball is excited to announce once again being selected to participate with the Crystal Ball Cruise Association. This year’s Senior Ball will be held on May 22, 2004 at LeMoyne Manor in Liverpool. The Crystal Ball Association is asking classic car owners such as yourself to support our Seniors on their life time memory special night. The Marcellus Seniors pledge to remain alcohol and drug free for the evenings’ activities. In return for their pledge, the Crystal Ball Cruise will transport couples to and from the ball’s location in classic cars driven by you. This is a wonderful opportunity for our young people to enjoy a safe and positive night.

The Crystal Ball Cruise is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. We provide a special insurance policy for you and the students for this special evening. The “After the Ball Committee” invites all the drivers and their companions to the Lakeside Bowling Center which is located further down Liverpool Road from LeMoyne Manor for pizza, wings, salad, soda, coffee and dessert, compliments of the Senior Class. The lanes will be open for your enjoyment, as we have reserved the bowling center at a discount rate exclusively for you. We are also including the drivers in “After the Ball” raffle. The raffle ticket is included with this letter, so please fill it out and turn it in upon arriving at the Marcellus School where we will depart.
