Now presenting this year’s CEO class business: Macoupin County's CEO Fall Formal.

CEO is a unique opportunity for high school seniors who want to implement entrepreneurship into their lives. As one of their big projects, they are tasked with creating a collaborative class business. This is the largest enrollment in class history, and it includes seven Staunton students. It was a consensus among the group that we want this year to stand out, and this event is a perfect way to showcase our hard work, diligence and commitment to furthering our entrepreneurial skills.

The CEO Fall Formal is something Macoupin County has never seen before. This event will be hosted by Carlinville Cross Church, located at 1030 W. Main St, of Carlinville. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Dinner from Amore, will be served at 6 p.m.

We will be holding a 50/50 raffle and a silent basket auction at 7 p.m. The dress code is "cocktail attire," so please dress accordingly. There are a limited number of tickets, so get them while they’re available. A single ticket goes for $100, and two tickets cost $150. If you’re interested in buying out a whole table, which seats eight, the cost is $600.

RSVP information can be found at the bottom of the invitation, and checks can be made to Macoupin County CEO. Also, our Venmo tag is @MacoupinCEO. Hope to see you there! -CEO class of 2024
