1. What is Diner en Blanc and what is the point of Rams en Blanc?

*If you’re unfamiliar with the event, Diner En Blanc is a social gathering where people dress in all white, partake in a gourmet picnic, and have to bring their own food, table, chairs, china, EVERYTHING. All table decorations should be white as well. The sole purpose of Rams en Blanc is to raise funds for the Alumni Association. Since the pandemic, we have not been able to host an event to raise funds but we’ve still had the obligation of providing scholarships for our seniors, providing before game meals for our athletic teams, and partaken in several other events in the community in which we’ve been asked to attend.

2. What are the key rules of the event?

● Rain or shine, guests are expected.

*The dollar tree has several options to choose from. A white ceramic plate and a wine glass would be fitting.
