Tickets are on sale for a Murder Mystery Dinner at Southern Arkansas University on October 25, 2014, with funds benefiting academic enrichment for the SAU criminal justice program.
The audience-engaged entertainment and dinner will be from 6-8 p.m. at the SAU Reynolds Center. Tickets are $30 for an individual or $50 for a couple. No children under 12. Contact Louis Roy to order tickets or for more information at (870)235-4226 or LouisRoy@SAUmag.edu.
The night will feature a “Roaring ‘20’s Mobster setting,” and prizes will be given for best-dressed audience members with costumes best matching the evening.
Door prizes will also be given in association with a food drive. Guests will receive one ticket for the prize drawings for each can of food brought for donation. All collected food items will be given to a local food bank.
This will be the first fundraiser of the year for the Criminal Justice Club, Lambda Epsilon Iota. Money raised will be used to the fund the club to travel to compete in regional and national criminal justice conferences and competitions.
Roy said that the club’s focus this year is going to be on community service. Each student involved will complete 25 hours of community service, and the club has an overall goal of 4,500 hours for the academic year.
Also, the criminal justice program is excited to announce a one-week summer youth criminal justice academy for 14-18 year-olds, that is coming in June 2015. Criminal Justice Club members will serve as mentors for this academy.
