October is a busy fundraising month for the YHS Music Department.  Here are two ways you can help support or program:

YHS MUSIC BOOSTERS CITRUS SALE!!

Will run from Wednesday 10/5 through Tuesday 11/1.  Each year, the YHS Bands and Orchestras participate in regional music festivals. The money raised from this sale will help pay for our students participation in these musical activities. Part of the proceeds will also be used to provide end of year awards, social events, and help purchase other items that benefit our entire program. Money earned from this fundraiser will benefit every member of the band so please do your part and sell at least 5 boxes.  Your participation will ensure our success!!

If you would like another copy of the cover sheet, selling instruction packet, or order tallying instruction sheet that was received in class, you can download them by clicking on their name here: Citrus Sale Cover Street, Citrus Sale Selling Information Packet, How To Tally Your Citrus Order.

YHS MUSIC BOOSTERS TAG SALE!!

The YHS Music Boosters 5th Annual Tag Sale will take place on Saturday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

We all hope you join us for this fantastic fundraising event that helps offset costs of festival participation fees, musical collaborations, and social events.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Donating:  What a great reason to clean out your attic and garage!  We are accepting gently used items to sell at our Tag Sale (clothing, kitchen items, toys, electronics, dvd’s, books, etc.)

Please DO NOT bring baby items, exercise machines or pillows. In addition, we also need wire hangers and the use of portable coat/clothing racks (please label these so that we can return them to you!).

DONATION DROP OFF:  Friday, October 21 from 2-7 p.m. YHS Cafeteria.

2. Volunteering: We will need tons of help on Friday 10/21 to sort/set-up and Saturday 10/22 for the sale!  Time slots are available for Friday from 2-8pm or Saturday from 7-4. Contact Ms. Kluga if you are interested.

3. Food Donations: We need items to sell at our Bake Sale table, AND healthy and nutritious foods for our awesome volunteers. (Friday: Dinner items delivered by 5:00, Saturday: Breakfast and Bake Sale items delivered by 8am, Lunch items delivered by 11:30).

4. Shopping: at our fabulous tag sale. There will be something for everyone!

Please e-mail Ms. Kluga (ekluga@yorktown.org) if you are able to help out with any of the above.

Sincerely,

The Webmasters
