Upbeat Updates 2/4 – (S&E, Scrip, Volunteer needs, Jazz ‘n Cakes)

Solo & Ensemble – Thank you to all the many student and parent volunteers that helped make solo & ensemble run so smoothly and the great success it was Saturday!  If you lost a plaid, multi colored scarf please email Teresa Roberts at solos@lakotawestbands.org  to claim it.

February Scrip orders due noon Friday 2/14 –  Don’t forget to get your Scrip orders in this month.  For a copy of the order form and complete details concerning the SCRIP program CLICK HERE.  The deadline for orders this month is February 11, 2014  if you mail your order, and noon February 14th if you drop it off.  Scrip card proceeds are used to defray trip costs for all band members.

Volunteer needs – We are in need of volunteers to fill several activity chair positions due to empty slots or one or more parents “aging out” with their last student.  If you are interested in helping with any of these activities please contact the current owner on the CONTACT LIST or email Sue Tanner at president@lakotawestbands.org :   Fundraising,  Concert Uniforms,  Co Chair Swing Dance,  Mattress Sale,   Co Chair Pancake Breakfast,  Scrip Cards,  Co Chair Spirit Wear,  Split the Pot,  Co Chair Tag Day,  Taste for Music,  Co Chair 3rd Quarter Refreshments.  This will give you time before the end of the year to train behind the current owner.

Jazz ‘N Cakes Donation Request – We are underway with planning another exciting Market Street at our annual Jazz ‘n Cakes fundraiser on Saturday, March 22, 2014.  Please keep us in mind if you received a Holiday gift that maybe wasn’t quite what you had wanted or needed. We are in need of new items to fill our variety of baskets for our raffles and silent auctions. Maybe your child got a duplicate book or toy, or you already have that household appliance; whatever the case may be, please consider donating any new items to Jazz ‘n Cakes.  If you own a business, please consider making a basket raffle donation and have your company name included in our programs. If you are able to make a donation or have questions about how to make a large item donation (vacation rental, sporting event tickets, etc.), please contact Bill Hertz at market@lakotawestbands.org to arrange pick-up of your item(s). Thank you for your help in making Jazz ‘n Cakes a success! We hope to see you March 22nd!
