SAVE THE DATE!!
This year’s Gryphon Gala is being held
on Saturday, March 19th at
Atonement Lutheran Church and School
in Metairie(6500 Riverside Drive).
The hospitality hour and silent auction
begin at 5pm, followed by a catered
sit-down dinner at 6:00, and
the verbal auction at 7:30.
The Gala provides a fun atmosphere where you can reunite with old friends
and teachers while supporting the ministry of Lutheran High School!
If you haven’t been to the Gala in a few years, now is the perfect time to
get involved with LHS again. Tables of 10 will be available. It would be
great for each class to try to get a table of 10 (or more!) together.
This year, the Gala will be honoring the Class of 1993!! ! We would love to
see you there!
If you are not sure if you are on the Gala mailing list, please send your
