MEETING DATES
The next Band Parent meeting will be on
Tuesday October 20th, the third Tuesday of every month. The next Show meeting will be held on Thursday, October
1st at 7pm in the Band Room. Please make every effort to attend.
PIE ORDERS...Since we have had such a great response to the pie fund raiser and wanted
to be sure that everyone had enough time to get their orders in we requested an additional extension for sales. If
you have already handed in your form you can continue to take orders and just put them on a piece of paper or I can supply
you with an additional order form. The pie orders will now be due on October
13th. Please remember to collect payment with the orders and submit one payment
for your entire order with a check payable to NMHS Band Parents. If you have any questions please feel free to
contact Kathy Brown at dogonekat@sbcglobal.net or 860-566-0318.
The
first fundraiser is Pies and forms were given to your child last Tuesday
night. The orders will be due on 10/1 and pies will be delivered on 11/20, just in time for Thanksgiving. Anyone who will be available to help tally orders or to sort
the pies when they arrive on November 20th can contact Kathy Brown at dogonekat@sbcglobal.net or call her cell at 860-566-0318.
The pie fundraiser proceeds will go to the NMHS Band Parent General Fund. This income is crucial to the organization.
We must ensure that we have the necessary equipment and transportation in place to mobilize a group of this size.
The next two fundraisers will
occur at the same time. One is the Holiday Wreaths and the other is the Fruit fundraiser.
The forms for both will both come out on 10/18 with orders due 11/1, and delivery on or about 12/1. If you would like
to begin taking orders for the wreaths, the cost of the wreaths will be $15 (same as last year) and we will be using the same
vendor. The wreath fundraiser proceeds will go to the student. $6.00 of every wreath will go towards the Chicago
trip. The fruit fundraiser partial proceeds will go to the student. $3.00 of every box of fruit will go towards
the Chicago trip.
Please keep a record of what you have sold in the Wreath
and Fruit fundraisers. You may apply this credit to your last payment to Global Endeavors. Do not stress though
– Mrs. Stone keeps very good records. If you wind up overpaying, any extra you sell will graciously go to the
General Fund and, of course, will be put to excellent use to augment this marvelous program.
Our next Can & Bottle
Drive is December 5th. If you would like to drop off cans
& bottles at Dr. Carlone’s office, please feel free to. Otherwise, you can turn in the slips and drop them
in the Lock Box in the band room.
