Adding to the d\u00e9cor, all guests were encouraged to wear Mardi Gras-style masks of their own or they could wear masks handed out at the registration desk. SGA Executive Secretary, Brett Kelly was banquet committee chair and Andre Willis managed public relations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a role in planning the event with help from Andre Willis and Shameka Hill and the rest of SGA helped set up the event. I liked seeing everyone have a good time,\u201d said Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>Making sure guests had a \u201cgood time\u201d was clearly a priority of the planning committee. Keeping with the New Orleans Mardi Gras theme, Sodexo supplied the catering of crab cake appetizers as well as cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables. On the dinner menu was a full buffet of Cajun cuisine such as fresh salad, rice, chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, spicy mixed vegetables and roast pork. Dessert lovers had a choice of key lime pie, cakes or an ice cream bar. Brian and Clai Entertainment were DJs for the event and they kept the dance floor filled until 11 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to thank DSC President, Dr. Tom LoBasso, for his support of the DSC clubs and organizations,\u201d said Lemoine.<\/p>\n<p>For information about how to become involved with clubs on campus Lemoine advises, \u201cStop by Co-Curricular Activities located in the Cafeteria (Building 130, room 110) or the club list, in its entirety, is on the DSC webpage at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daytonastate.edu\/student_act\/clubandorganizations.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.daytonastate.edu\/student_act\/clubandorganizations.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the SGA meets every Tuesday at 3 p.m. in building 130, room 154, and they can help get students involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cynde Puckett In Motion Staff Writer It came a month later than the actual event, but it is never too late to party, as evidenced by the Student Government Association\u2019s Mardi Gras-themed Annual Club Awards and Banquet held in mid-April.
