Fundraisers!!!

Three very important fundraisers going on/coming up:

1.        Off-Campus Concessions ~ Working at the Amway Arena is a great way to earn money for the general band account and for your student’s account!  The monies earned will go toward replacing our trailer and maintaining our staff . PLEASE email Rob/Karen Lattin, our off-campus coordinators, at tchsoffcampus@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

2.       Our cookie dough sale begins Monday, February 8 and ends February 22.

3.      Upcoming Golf Tournament at StoneyBrook on April 17, 2010

 Fifth Annual Golf Tournament

Saturday, April 17, 2010 with an 8:30 shotgun start.  We REALLY need EVERYONE’S assistance to help make this year’s golf tournament a success!  We need companies/businesses to donate sponsorships or give us donations to include in the goody bags.  We also obviously need golfers!  Please ask everyone you know if they would like to enjoy a fun day of golf and help us raise much needed funds (to pay for next year’s show).  We have room for 144 players.  Please contact Rick Brown for more information (tcrfundraising.com)!  We also need volunteers!

 Outstanding Debt

No balances will be allowed to carry over.  Mr. Cox will be contacting those students with balances.  If students owe money at the end of the fiscal year, they will NOT be invited to participate with the Regiment.  (They may still participate in the band program, however, they will not be able to be part of the marching band.)
