New Date Announced for the Senior Send Off and Alumni Party

Please join us for the Senior Send Off and Alumni Party at a new date!  We will be setting sail on July 9, 2009 from 6:30-9 PM.  

We are fully booked for our private cruise of Baltimore's Inner Harbor celebrating our graduating Carson Scholars and we can no longer accept new reservations. We are so excited to see past and current scholars at the event, along with our dedicated volunteers.
