GMSA's International Dinner
 

April 26, 2008
Doors Open 5:30 p.m. & Dinner at 6:00 p.m.
MHC Cafeteria

Join GMSA and the St. Thomas community in celebrating the 19th annual International Dinner. There will be live performances (music, dancing, singing) and an international selection of foods, drinks and desserts, all right here on campus. The events starts with social hour, followed by the international flag procession, and of course there is the wonderful dinner, and this is followed by the performances. This is a semi-formal event and everyone is encouraged to attend the Spring Fling dance afterwards as well.

Be sure to remember that tickets (sold at the UST Box Office) will go on sale April 16th. The price for students is $8 and for faculty and outside guests, $14. Tickets WILL sell-out, they do every year. So be sure to get them early, as this event has limited seating.
 

*** Remember to purchase your International Dinner tickets soon, they tend to sell out fast!***
