We ourselves, the Faculty and Staff of Avistrum, are the reigning three-time champions of this award, but it is time to pass the torch. We will allow campaigning within the school before and after classes, and even better, we will award House Points for each participating campaign! All proceeds from the competition go to benefit the Literacy Fund.

One House Point will be awarded for every dollar raised by your campaign, and the winning campaign will earn an extra 50 points for your house! Team entries are encouraged. If your team includes students from multiple houses, the points will be split evenly amongst your team members. To be eligible to earn points for the contest, however, you must be registered for the Fall term!

Our campaign this year is for The Order of the Phoenix!

MileHiCon takes place this weekend, October 27-29, 2006 at the DTC Hyatt (Google Maps, MapQuest, Yahoo! Maps). This is a new location this year!

In addition to our FGoH campaign, we will also have the following classes on Sunday, October 29, for free with MileHiCon admission:

  • 11:00 – 12:00: Potions with Prof. Moffat
  • 3:00 – 4:00: Defense Against Dark Magic with Prof. Dowling
  • 4:00 – 5:00: Alchemy (Brand New!!)

Just as last year, free campaign buttons will be available to anyone who “votes” with 4 quarters or more! Remember: vote early and vote often!

Join us!
