1) Gala Update:
     Date April 9, 2022 from 6-10 pm in Legacy Park
      IHSNO’s annual gala “What a Wonderful World of Languages” is set to take place on Saturday, April 9, 2022, from 6-10 pm (Patron Party 6-7 pm). 

 

International High School of New Orleans has one of the most extensive foreign language programs in the state, and we are raising much needed funds to continue the success of these very important programs. Our hope is to raise more than $25,000 at our 2022 Gala.

 

As with prior galas, we are asking for your help in the following areas:

 

1.    Fundraising: Each Board member’s fundraising goal is $1,000 which can be satisfied through an individual contribution and/or by securing sponsorships and/or by selling tickets.  

 

2.    Volunteering: There are several committees in need of volunteers.  Please let us know by January 14 if you are interested in serving on one or more committees.  If we do not gain enough traction, we will call and assign you to a committee. 


a. Sponsorships – following up with previous sponsors and identifying/soliciting new sponsors

b. Auction – securing and cataloging auction items
c. Food – we are asking donations of celebrity chefs to attend and prepare special international food dishes or restaurants to provide catered dishes

d. Decorations/Entertainment – planning the décor and setting up / taking down on the day of the gala and securing and coordinating entertainment for the event
