Cocktail Dresses and School Buses

Lookin' good MSG!

Every year, the Mercyhurst Student Government (MSG) and the Student Activities Council (SAC) work together to plan the annual Spring Charity Ball.  It's a great chance to not only support a great cause, but also an even better chance to get dressed up, get off campus, and have some great food!  There are even buses that provided free transportation, which is really great b/c then you don't have to worry about parking.

This year, the Spring Charity Ball was at Union Station, which is this really cool place downtown.  We had chicken, roasted potatoes, salad, and stuffed shells for dinner, along with a dessert table with little chocolates and eclairs.  A few of my future roommates and I, along with a lot of my student government friends, and other close friends went, so there was a pretty decent sized group with all different groups of people.  

Arriving downtown in style!

One piece of advice-- don't not go to these types of events because you're afraid it'll be a repeat of high school all over again.  To be quite honest, a bunch of my friends were skeptical of going (and a bunch of us didn't go last year b/c we thought we was too cool to go), BUT none of us regretted going.  So definitely check out the annual Spring Charity Ball if you decide to come to Mercyhurst, I'm sure glad I did! =)
