A Success! 2008 Grad Nite
Live theme: Fantasy
To the Editor: The 12th edition of Grad Nite Live went off without a hitch on graduation night, May 31st. Over 70% of the Class made the solid choice to attend and we have been told that they had a great time. Those graduates who made it through the entire night were entered into a raffle with more than $3,000 worth of prizes. They left at 5:00 AM tired, but safe and hopefully happy they spent the night with us. Given the “changes” surrounding this year’s event, the organizers of Grad Nite Live want to congratulate those members of the Class of 2008 who chose to be sober and to enjoy the opportunity to be together as a class one more time. You are to be applauded for making the mature and responsible choice and will always be considered the class that saved Grad Nite. The fact that the vast majority of you opted to enjoy Grad Nite Live is a testament to you as a class and to the student leaders who set an outstanding example for those classes to follow. Grad Nite Live, as an organization, had to make some tough decisions in the last year, but our focus has always remained on the safety of the graduates and all the volunteers. We will continue to tweak the event going forward to provide a safe night and, just as important, a night of fond and lasting memories for MHS grads. The 2008 edition of Grad Nite Live presented a number of issues. That said, despite significant budget restraints, the rear portion of the school was once again transformed in spectacular fashion. The theme of Fantasy / SciFi was somewhat broad in scope, but the decorators pulled it off once again. We estimate that more than 1,000 community members viewed the decorations during the community preview from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Thank you to all the members of the Marshfield Community who continue to step up and make Grad Nite happen. Particular notables include: Rob Nerger and the crew from John Foster Lumber as well as Jack and Tom Cullen form Cullen Electric. These guys have been there from the very beginning and are critical to making the event a success. We also want to thank the Molly Fitzgerald Fund, the Grigas Family and Triple G Scaffolding, John Good and J.N. Muldoon Company as well as Peter Cook and Cook & Company for their significant contributions. There are so many others to thank (please see list below), but we would like to generally thank the area restaurants, supermarkets and all of the volunteer decorators, builders and chaperones who did their part to create an exciting and safe environment for our graduates. On a personal note, I wish to thank the members of the Grad Nite Live Steering Committee for “hanging in there” throughout this most difficult year. This group was able to build and maintain a consensus that resulted in another fabulous night for our grads and a feeling of security for their families and the community at large. On behalf of Grad Nite Live, Inc., we extend our congratulations to all of the members of the Marshfield High School Class of 2008 and their families. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and hope that you enjoyed the 2008 edition of Grad Nite Live. Bill Bowers, Co-Chair - Grad Nite Live P.S.
