Murder On Maui! (:

Last week, we put on our biggest fundraiser yet; a murder mystery dinner. Our english teachers, and a few other staff member's participated in the acting of the storyline. The theme, and story, were called "Murder on Maui". So we bought Hawaiian decorations and prepared a four-course Hawaiian-themed dinner. We had quite a few issues preparing for this dinner; our decorations didn't show up on time and we didn't start selling our tickets until two weeks before the dinner was scheduled. We had the dinner in the cafeteria at our school, and the decorations we bought (because our shipment was late) ended up looking really nice. (:
We also had a silent auction that we got a lot of items donated for.

The menu was:
Appetizer- Terriyaki chicken skewers with pineapple dipping sauce
Salad- Green salad with mango/red pepper vinaigrette
Main Course- Pulled pork, sticky rice, pineapple cole slaw, and a dinner roll
Dessert- Caramelized banana tart and coconut ice cream

All of the food turned out really good, and was very yummy. We got quite a few compliments.
Overall, the dinner went really well, and we made quite a bit of money, and are well on our way to New York! :D
