Allatoona Chorus Presents 1st Annual Musical Coffee House & Silent Auction 
Join the Allatoona Chorus for its 1st Annual Musical Coffee House & Silent Auction, Friday, September 27, 7pm - 10pm in the AHS Cafeteria. 

Tickets are $5 and are on sale now through the event. To purchase, please contact Peggy Gorhum

 

Bring your family and friends for an evening of musical  entertainment featuring a variety talented student artists. Justin the Magician will also be in attendance working his magic for all ages.  While enjoying the nights entertainment, dessert and light refreshments, we encourage you to bid on silent auction items which include an iPad Mini, weekend getaways, tickets to Atlanta sports and entertainment venues (i.e. Hawks and Ballet) among other services and creative items up for bid. All proceeds going to support the Allatoona Chorus Booster program. 

Question:  If there was a captivating program you could attend with your student, that would reduce the likelihood of them being involved in an accident by more than 75%, would you attend?  And if so, how much would that be worth to you?  How does less than � of your insurance deductible sound?

 

Yes, the Accident Avoidance Workshops is that program.  Yes, it costs less than � of the typical $500 deductible.  Yes, you can write a portion of it off on your taxes.  Yes, both you AND your student will receive Defensive Driving Certificates, which has saved some families over $500 a year for 3 years running.  But don't do it because of the money.  Do it because your student can't be replaced.

 

The Workshops are coming right to Allatoona High School this November.   Click here for more information and for a complete schedule, or call 770-262-7009.  If you are ready to register, you may click here.
