Upbeat Updates 11/1 – (Followers package opening, levy info)

MACYS PAYMENTS/TRIP —  FOLLOWERS PACKAGE OPENING see below.

  • FOLLOWERS PACKAGE OPENING — There has become an availability in the follower’s package.  The opening is for 1 room up to a triple occupancy.  If you are interested please contact Sue Tanner at president@lakotawestbands.org immediately so that we can try to work out a solution for this opening.  We would like to resolve this quickly so please make contact by 7pm on Wednesday 11/6  if you are interested.
  • ALL Macy’s trip payments are due 10/31 (student/chaperone/follower/bus).  Full payment must be received and verified by 11/15 at the latest.  Please check your account in Charms and pay any remaining balance(s).
  • The followers bus cost is $130 per person. There are still seats available on the followers buses.  Please email Sue Tanner at president@lakotawestbands.org if you are interested in the bus.  You don’t have to purchase the followers package to ride the bus.  Buses leave Lakota West 6am 11/25 and departs NY from the Westin at 7pm on 11/29.  The followers bus list continues to be tweaked as passengers are added in order to keep buses balanced.  The final list will be reposted in a few weeks.
  • Charms finances will be down for month end from 9pm 10/31 until 8am 11/1.  Please plan accordingly.

 

Vote / Levy Facts – Did you know that the school levy on the ballot this November, if passed, will restore some services previously cut?  A benefit to the band is a $100 reduction in the $365 district MB fee and a $150 reduction in the $550 Winter Guard fee.  The district will offset the fee reduction by making an equivalent contribution to the activity’s fund (no reduction in budget).  CLICK HERE for a short document about the levy.

There is a final opportunity to volunteer to support the levy.  They are looking for volunteers this weekend to canvass and for volunteers on election day   to simply stand outside polling locations and hold signs.  No speaking required. Click the link to sign up:  ELECTION VOLUNTEERS  .
