CHVProm -- the hottest party in town!


CHVProm is Friday, May 17, 8pm until midnight! From amazing themed tables to wonderful food, music and dancing -- and lots of fun with friends and neighbors -- the annual CHVProm is the hottest ticket in town!

Every year, the adults of Cheverly let loose on this great night -- and tickets sell out fast every year! Tickets for the 2013 CHVProm will go on sale on Monday, April 15. Individual tickets are $15 per person or you can buy a full table of 12 for $180. All table reservations must be made with a payment! Individual tickets and tables of 12 will be sold at Town Hall during normal business hours.

Like almost every event in Cheverly, CHVProm relies on a legion of volunteers. Want to get involved? They need sponsors, prize donations, and help with set-up and clean-up. Please contact Jennifer Daniels.

New this year: Fit+Fun Cheverly

We're very pleased to announce a new addition to Chev erly Day for 2013 -- Fit+Fun Cheverly! If you think about it, Cheverly Day has long offered great activities to get everyone moving, such as Cicada Crunch, the 3-on-3 Basketball Tourney, and softball. This year, we're kicking it up a bit, and we want you to join in!

Cheverly's own Kelly Fisher will lead a yoga session on the stage at 1pm, and everyone is welcome. You may know Kelly from her Wildflower Yoga classes, leading yoga practitioners in the 85th Anniversary Parade, her bands (she's performed at both Cheverly Day and ChvProm), and Cheverly Community Market, where she plays nearly every Market and is active on the Board. Kelly is a Cheverly treasure -- we're very fortunate to have her with us on May 18! Wear comfortable clothes, and bring water and a mat, if you have one.

Fit+Fun Cheverly -- something to get excited about this Cheverly Day!
