CORN SNOW CHARITY PROM
Wednesday March 18th, 2009

The VertiGals end their season with a splash and the popular “Corn Snow Charity Prom”. Not only is it a super fun day, but our goal is to raise awareness and funds to contribute to a local charity selected by the reigning Queen. Included below is her letter with all the details.
The morning of Corn Prom we will all gather outside as usual and pose for many group photos, remember to bring your camera. After photos we will board the quad to Deer Point and create a
snake chain parade down the Upper Ridge and through the Bowl. From there ladies enjoy the rest of the morning laughing and skiing with each other and attracting a lot of fun attention until we meet for
potluck at 12:30 (see
calendar for who brings what). During lunch, prom queen candidates will be introduced and perform their candidate parade. Here we all cheer to vote for our ‘new Queen’ - you still have that camera? This is an event you won’t want to miss!
Ladies, please take note – dressing up for Corn Prom is purely optional and not a requirement for attendance. Please come join the fun no matter what your outfit consists of. And ‘Prom’ is a general guideline, as we have seen many a great costume of every sort. Check your attic, garage, mom’s attic and garage, thrift and consignment stores for your fun costume. A simple boa, mardi gras beads or headdress can perk up any ski outfit!

A note from the reigning Prom Queen: "I am humbled to be selected as your reigning 2008-09 Prom Queen. I would like to thank you for this honor. My background in working with non-profits is extensive. I have many charities that I am on boards for and personally support. For this ski season, I want to get input from every Vertigal regarding charities that you are passionate about. This way I can consider your favorites in my decision for our 2009 charity pick. Remember to keep a look out for prom dresses and accessories at second hand stores so you can look “stunning” on our special day. Be prepared for a wild and crazy time. We enjoy ourselves, but our goal is raise money for less fortunate people. Please e-mail me and tell me about your charity and why I should consider it. I will let you know my selection prior to our 2009 Corn Prom on March 18th. We can really make a difference in the lives of the people we target. Your humble queen,
Donna Bari
