After sorting through and organizing mountains of “stuff” Friday afternoon and evening (the donations were truly overwhelming, thank you so much!!), we kicked off our sale at 9am Saturday and enjoyed a steady stream of customers throughout the day.  In all we made $3,700 in profit (and the special band & orchestra memories, of course, were priceless…)  None of this would have been possible without your help and support; many thanks to all who donated items, refreshments, or your valuable time to help make this endeavor a success!

Also, many special thanks to band parents Janine D’Orio, Marianne de Laperouse, Lisa Kyer, Theresa Ryan-Onatzevitch, Cindy Scinto, Lisa Statler, Jennifer Vespucci, and Jennifer Weitman for their tireless organizational, logistical, and advertising expertise!!

SPECIAL THANKS to band parent Cindy Scinto and orchestra parent Melissa Montaruli for their amazing work organizing all of the parent volunteers and working out so many of our logistical and planning details behind the scenes.

In addition, SPECIAL THANKS to Lisa Kyer for securing the local charity Green Drop, to whom we donated all our remaining items.
