Formal Announcement
Sep. 8th, 2004 08:12 pmThe following is solid proof that two people with a lot of money should never be allowed alone together, because plotting happens.
On Saturday, September the 25th, there will be a HeliX event held at Piper House near Lake George, Greenhaven, NY. It's a formal benefit, so if anyone wanted an excuse to go spend money on a nice suit or dress, now's your chance. Parents are more than welcome to come, though they'll need to make their own accomodations - I can lend a hand, if they need it. The event starts at seven PM.
We're looking for volunteers to come out a day early to help set the house up for the party - just drop Paul or myself a note if you're interested in volunteering.
Paul? Did I forget anything?

Having money doesn't necessarily mean being frivolous with it. If it did, Shinobi and I wouldn't be making this into a benefit. The other guests will definitely want to see what kind of young person takes part in HeliX. I will note that a number of them are mutants themselves; I leave it to you to figure out which ones.
You have the opportunity to mingle with your peers and with some very influential and intelligent people. It should be fun and there will be potential for you to do some good work. It is work, at that, even if you are having fun. I have made more progress at parties than in the boardroom in many instances.
I think your classmates and the other members of HeliX do care whether or not you wear a dress, or whether or not you dress up at the least. Maybe they should get to pick out a dress for you?

No one is picking out a dress for me! For goodness sake...

Silk!
