Q10:       Will my guests and I have a good time?
A10:       The Mardi Gras Committee understands that while fundraising is an important function of the Mardi Gras Ball, it is not the event’s only purpose. COVID has put a damper on everyone's social life. However, Mardi Gras represents a long history of perseverance, progress, good times for Brothers and their families, and Friendships revisited. It is the Committee’s goal to preserve this legacy and continue in this tradition. At the end of the night, we want to reflectively and with great satisfaction say, “A good time was had by all!”
