Night at the Races
Now that the lottery calendar returns are in and there has been a week of winners, it is time to shift gears and head into our next fundraiser. All band and color guard members should have received a packet concerning the Night at the Races to give to their parents. The packets were distributed before Christmas by Mr. K. If anyone has not received one, please contact Tom McFarland at 328-5575 or 288-1305 to get one.
The packets themselves have all of the information in them and are pretty self-explanatory. We do ask that all ad returns be made as soon as possible so we can print them up as they come in rather than a big rush at the end. Ads can be sold to anyone and parents can even put their own message in the booklet.
Horse returns are due no later than February 13th. This will allow time to break the horses down into races and get the booklet printed.
Remember, Night at the Races is one of our larger fundraisers and requires a great deal of planning and help. Please get involved. It benefits all of our children.
The date of the event is February 20th at 7:00 p.m. It wil be held at the Independence Fire Hall in Kingston. We hope to see you there.
Please get in touch with Tom McFarland if you are willing and able to work at the event or help with setup or cleanup.
Lottery Calendars
Lottery Calendar money is due. Please send a check to the Wyoming Valley West Band Parents as soon as possible.
Golf Tournament
The golf tournament is over for this year but, once again, it was a huge success and fun was had by all who participated. Thank you to the Wilski and Mebane families for chairing this event and to all the people who put in so much time to make it a success.
Magazine Fundraiser
The magazine fundraiser was quite successful. All monies have been collected and the orders are being processed. A lot of money was earned for the student's accounts who participated.
Candy Bars (Rabbits)
- Boxes of 48 Gertrude Hawk candy bars are now available through Mrs. Margallis. Unless the candy is prepaid, there is a limit to two boxes issued at a time per student. You can pick up candy at Tuesday night practices or by calling Mrs. Margallis at 288-2894.
