Parents, we need lots of help the night of the party, so don't forget to click here or on the Volunteer link to the left and sign up to enjoy the fun as you help out. Please contact our Volunteer Chair at volunteers@cavcruise.woodsonptso.org with any questions.

Parents!
We need your help to provide refreshments for almost 500 seniors during Cavalier Cruise 2012, WTW's all-night drug and alcohol-free graduation party on June 14-15. We rely heavily on WTW parents of 9th - 12th graders for food and beverage donations.

Please use this form to let us know which items you will be willing to bring!

Thank you, as always, for helping to make the 2012 Cruise the best ever!

It’s not an actual cruise on the Potomac or any other river. It is the best all-night graduation party ever!
And it's organized by WTW parent volunteers!

There are no drugs or alcohol, just friends, fun and great food!

Oak Marr Recreation Center
11:00 p.m. Thursday, June 14, 2012 - 5:00 a.m. Friday, June 15, 2012

You bet. The graduates can go swimming, scale a climbing wall, enjoy an obstacle course and moon bounce, play mini-golf or visit the casino for roulette, Texas Hold’em or Blackjack, get a caricature, a tattoo, a massage or have their fortune told, make an MTV video, ride the mechanical bull, win prizes – the list goes on and on!

It takes a lot of mates to get the "ship" ready to set sail on June 14! Some of the committees have volunteer coordinators already. The ones in green are the ones that still need chairs. You don't have to do it alone! Team up with a friend (or two), and sign up together. Here's a brief description of the committees:

• Director/Co-Director: Oversees the Cav Cruise committees, hosts monthly meetings, coordinates communication via WEmail, newsletter, etc.

• Graduation Seat Raffle: (May thru June) Coordinates raffle for prime seating at graduation.
• Volunteer Coordinator: Coordinates the volunteers needed for each committee. Maintains a spreadsheet throughout the year and makes assignments for the celebration.
• VOLUNTEERS: Last but not least, we need a lot of parents at the celebration: Two shifts: 10:30 p.m. - 2:30 a.m., 2:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m. Or better yet, stay all night and enjoy the fun.
