A Picture Perfect Evening In Paris - Atlanta LDS Priests/Laurel Formal

Security Statement

There are over 50 chaperones and security people assigned to this year’s formal. The two parking lots will be staffed from the beginning of the evening until after attendee’s have departed. Attendee’s have the opportunity to be escorted to the Ballroom at the beginning of the evening and to their cars at the end of the evening. We are encouraging attendee’s to utilize the two designated parking lots. In the event youth park somewhere other than the designated parking lot, escorts will be available to take them from the ballroom to their cars at the end of the evening.

 Georgia Tech campus police have been contacted and will be monitoring our event and have indicated they will be available should a need arise.

 The main entrance will be the only entrance and exit to the facilities that will be utilized. Security will be stationed on the lower levels to monitor those who enter and to provide assistance. There will be approximately 30 chaperones assigned to monitor the main, upper level and ballroom.

 It is recommended that driving directions be printed out and taken to the event.

 An e mail will be sent two days before the event to all registered participants with a map to the event. Below are driving directions to the formal.
