Moonglow	Jennings Hall This year we're planning a "Pizza Party" - Pizza, salad, and non-alcholoci beverage for $12 (including tax and gratuity) The Moonglow Pizza Party is also planned to be a PJ party - you don’t need PJs but be sure to dress casually. ScotianAires pink beaded tops are too fragile to be eating pizza in! We’re changing out of them as quickly as we can. So we’re inviting you to do the same. You don’t have to, obviously. It’s up to you. We will be making provisions for people with gluten/dairy and other food alergies IMPORTANT: When submitting the Moonglow orders - please provide the names of those individuals with food alergies Deadline for submitting orders is May 5 2011 NOTE: Payment for the Moongow is included on the Individual Room/Food Registration Form
