Well you thought you were done with my messages but here we go again. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and got rested and ready for the last few weeks of school. Here are some important reminders for this week.
TAMALE and COKE orders are due Tomorrow November 30th to your band director or to Mrs. Luther. Please get these in promptly as we have to place our order by Monday. Contact Michelle Pettit to volunteer to work a shift. We needlots of volunteers. Please note that since the tamale and coke sales are outside we will only deliver orders until 5:00. So make sure you pick up your order between 1-5 on Sunday at Winter Follies. High school parents please pay attention to this time. The high school bands do not start until 5:45. Make sure you get there early to pick up your orders. We will not stay late since the parents who are volunteering want to watch their students perform. Please be respectful of the time frames so that everyone gets to enjoy the concerts.
Silent Auction donations: We are still in need of donations see the message from Michelle McComb We really need the junior high parents to bring sports items Ex: rebels stuff, longhorn stuff, Tx State, A & M... Chairs, shirts, koozies, flags, cups, (UT, A&M, TX State, Rebels, etc - any TX college, NCAA, sports in general) you can turn into your school directors.
If anyone has contacts at a hotel, a fitness gym, automotive place that would be great to get some gift certificates for services/memberships or whatever. We have tons of wine, jewelry and other smallish baskets. I have a very nice baby girl basket with a homemade quilt (Janet Walgren) and Liz Newbury has donated wonderful stuff, but we need some things that appeal to guys. We have some book baskets. I need more stuff to add to the "camera care or camera buff" basket.
We seem to be ok on baskets right now. Just need more variety. VIDEO games are good too - ?? other ideas... very open to whatever people come up with. Please get your donations in by Friday December 2 if possible. You can contact Michelle McComb with questions. There is much more information on the website.
WE need volunteers to man the silent auction as well it will remain open until the final concert. Please contact Michelle to work a shift. We especially need middle school parents to work during the high school concerts.
