Mardi Gras: February 21, 4-7 p.m. in the Waldron Cafe
On the eve of Lent, come celebrate with fun food and live jazz at dinner time in the dining hall. Those without a meal plan can pay cash ($9.80 + tax). But even if you do have a meal plan, bring a couple dollars because we are raffling off an assortment of cool prizes to benefit the work of the Sisters of Mercy in New Orleans! You can also purchase raffle tickets in St. Bernard's Lobby on Monday 2/20 and Tuesday 2/21 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. (Cosponsored by Human Services Association and Alternative Spring Break: New Orleans)
