This year our guests will be from three organizations: Down Syndrome of Southern Nevada, New Vista Community, and Opportunity Village. Each organization is responsible for inviting their own guests. Guest will arrive at designated times given to each organization.

Down Syndrome of Southern Nevada – 6:00
New Vista Opportunity – 6:15
Opportunity Village – 6:30

Be prepared to receive a night of star quality treatment. Upon your arrival, you will be greeted by a team of smiling faces who will usher you in to pair you with a host or hostess who will accompany you throughout the evening. Once you are paired with a host or hostess, you will go through registration and receive a nametag that is designed just for you. Then, ladies you will make your way through the salon to have your hair and make up done, and gentlemen, you will make your way through the shoe shining station. After you are looking fabulous, you will make your way down the hall to receive a corsage or boutonnière. Then, you will have your prom portrait taken, which you will receive by the end of the night. Now that you are all decked out, it is your moment to shine. From the photography room, you will make your way down the hall to the fabulous red carpet where everyone is waiting to see you. Upon your arrival, cameras flashing and your fans asking for your autograph will greet you. You will be formally introduced, and then you will take your very own walk of fame down the red carpet. After your walk, you will be ushered into a star quality dining room to be served an amazing dinner. After dinner be prepared to dance the night away with a live band and DJ. Get ready for Joy Prom 09: A Night to Shine. We can’t wait to see you there!

This is a prom, so formal wear is encouraged. If you don’t have a formal dress or tuxedo, just wear your nicest attire. Come and look your best! It is your night to shine!
