Only three years old, and already McGill's chapter of Commerce Administrative Student Charity Organization (CASCO) throws one of the best parties in town. On November 22, the group threw a bash at le Medley on St Denis. The theme was Rewind... a journey through the decades — here Brian Schreiber and Alison Glube (centre) dance to hits of the 80s. Attendees were treated to a fashion show, and true to CASCO's mercantile roots, a silent auction and marketplace. Funds raised went to the Montreal Children's Hospital.
