Booster Meeting

I have heard from many of you regarding the meeting on Thursday, and have decided to do this: If you are going to the board meeting at the elementary school, come by the Band Room right after rehearsal and I will give you the information/items for the BarBQ fundraiser and the Spring 2011 trip. During this time, if you have any ideas for other fundraisers that you would like to head up (small ones like selling Mary Kay products or a yard sale or something) let me know and we will keep the fundraisers going throughout the year. We already have some bigger ones lined up, but the small ones don't hurt either.

We will go ahead and have the official meeting Thursday at 6:30 pm. The meeting minutes will be sent over email and put on the website soon afterward. Thanks!
