Parent Boosters

Hey everyone,
So, this is kind of unusual for a blog post, but I'm hoping this well help...

As you all know, we have a GREAT parent organization that helps us so much throughout the year. From refreshments at shows, to our Musical raffle, to Dinner theater, to buying us computers, a LCD TVs, color printers and wood for sets etc... they help us an extreme amount throughout the year.
Now is the time where parent membership cards are being sold. Clearly, membership is not mandatory and parents can still participate and volunteer without being members. However, a card costs only $15 and will give your parents two discounted tickets to the opening night performance of every show. This year, we are striving for 100% Booster-membership. When other organizations that are larger than us, such as sports boosters, have 100% parent membership, it is not an unreasonable goal for us. Nothing looks better for us, both through the eyes of the community and the district administration than to have a parents booster organization that has the support from every parent of every student. It legitimizes us in many ways that we probably don't even realize.
Please remind your parents to send in their membership dues to our Parent-Booster treasurer (and my mom), Cheryl at 2893 Joyce Lane in Merrick. Membership forms will also be available at Back-to-School night tomorrow. Remind them how important their support is to us, and remember, a simple $15 from each family can and will go a long way to helping us achieve success this year in all aspects of On Tour.

See you all tomorrow (Thursday) at the 2:45 meeting!
