Message from FNB
Family Formal
Hey ACA family. I hope everyone is hanging in there with the shelter in place. Being that we will for sure be out of school until May and big gatherings will more than likely still be banned we are going to cancel the Family Formal. We are really disappointed that we have to do this but we also need to be realistic. We will keep the Kentucky Derby theme for next year’s formal.
If you have already paid for your tickets, trophies, medals or any accessories we will happily refund you. If you would like to donate the money to Family Formal dance for next year that would also be greatly appreciated.
If you would like a refund please email me your address and I will send you a check. If you sent money via venmo I will be reversing the charges. acaiifnb@gmail.com
Thank you all for your flexibility and understanding.
