Fundraising Ø Music & Arts- Filomena reported that $70 was made in refreshments. WIMB also received a $500 store credit from Music & Arts for the parent volunteers that worked that day. Judy and Filomena are still working with Mr. Dion, Marie Gray and Music & Arts managers to work out the details for next year’s event. More details will be coming. Ø Fruit Sale – Eva and Joe reported the fruit sale receipts are coming in slowly. We still need volunteers, and there are two more call nights. Please encourage your kids to get their orders in as checks are starting to come in that Joe and Eva can’t match to orders. Ø Stadium Cushions- Eva presented a suggestion by Patti Silva to sell stadium cushions. Patti would be willing to run this fundraiser. One concern that came up was where to sell them. The best solution seemed to be to include order forms in the beginning of the year packets, same as t-shirt and sweatshirt orders. New/Old Business Ø Music T-shirts- Filomena said these were still on hold. There will be more information coming in November. Ø Competition tickets are available. The will be $10 if purchased ahead, $12 at the gate. We need to pre-sell 90 tickets. An additional school bus has been ordered for parents. There are 44 seats and will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis. Yolanda Preysner will sell tickets and take reservations for parent bus. Ø Nella suggested that packets that go to Color Guard prior to band camp focus on information relevant to Color Guard students and their parents. Dave Dion’s Update Ø Marching Band- Tuesday was one of the worst rehearsal’s to date. Today’s was excellent. Ø Competitions- Students have been representing themselves and the school well. Students need to be at the high school at 12:30 for this Saturday’s Championship. Ø Columbus Day Parade went well, and UNICO appreciated our attendance.
