Louis' Charity Event

I'm the president of the Leo Club of Braille Institute and we are
putting on a prom/dinner to raise money for Invisible Children and
UNICEF. Invisible Children is an organization that is helping children
in Uganda who are being abducted and forced to become child soldiers
and UNICEF is a branch of the UN that is helping kids all around the
world. The event is on June sixth and tickets are $15 per a person and
$25 per a couple if you reserve them before hand. At the door they are
$20 per person and $35 per couple. Their will be Mexican, Italian, and
southern food for your enjoyment. There will also be a raffle if you
feel lucky that day.

I know I only gave you tickets for singles so if anyone wants to by a
ticket for couples write their name down and I will give you the
ticket so you can give it to them. Thanks for offering to post my
event on the blog and please edit and revise what I wrote so it is fit
for public viewing..

P.S. If you can post it on your other cites as well that would be
great because we want as many people their as possible. Thanks again.
