SOMEA is partnering with ACHIEVE’s Night of 100 Dinners. SOMEA will be hosting a Trivia Night at The Woodlawn on Thursday, March 26 at 6pm. Trivia teams can be up to 10 people, and we are hoping to have AT LEAST 1 team from every school. Click here to register your team!
 
We are suggesting a $10 per person donation to ACHIEVE to enter the event. There will also be a Southern BBQ style dinner. Please see the flyer below for details.
