Monte Carlo Night
February 19
8:30 p.m. – 12:30 a.m.
Omni Shoreham
2500 Calvert Street NW
Washington, D.C. 20008

The MBA Association cordially invites you to its keystone event, Monte Carlo Night 2011 – a night of gambling, dancing, friends, and fun! The night will include an open bar, DJ, and light food. This annual, black-tie optional event is a valued Smith tradition established in 2002 to raise money for the Michael Scott Lamana and Eric Cranford Memorial MBA Fellowship Fund. Mr. Lamana and Mr. Cranford were Part-Time Smith MBA students killed in the 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon. Part of the proceeds from the night’s event will go toward this fund.

Cork Market & Tasting Room

What could be better than spending a few hours with friends while enjoying wine? How about private wine class on how to order proper wines for dinner while you enjoy select wines and cheeses? The next time you’re out with clients or your boss, you’ll be able to order wine with confidence! Tickets are $50 and include six wines, cheeses, taxes and gratuity. There will be a drawing for a Smith School wine carrier and bottle stopper during the evening!
