You must RSVP by Monday, Aug 22 so that we can get an accurate headcount for planning purposes. Remember that we need RSVPs only for family members, not for the band and color guard students (who are already paid for and will be performing).

Special thanks to Judy & Bob Culhane for organizing the BBQ!]]> http://www.ehsbandfamily.org/rdf.php/index.php?entry=entry110812-123648 Community Card Fundraiser starts during Field Show Camp! Cards are sold for $10 each and we request that everyone sell at least 3 cards. For each card sold, we earn $5 which will go towards purchasing our own truck!

Contact your friends and neighbors NOW to pre-sell cards, then pick them up during Field Show Camp registration or from Pacific Wang, pacificlwang@yahoo.com . You can return unsold cards by Sept 15 but you must pay for them when you take them.

What are the businesses and discounts? Here is what our card looks like (click image for a full-sized version):



If you have relatives in other cities, you can order cards good for businesses in those cities - click here for available cities.

PRIZES - if you sell 6 cards, you will receive a $5 certificate to either Starbucks or Golden Spoon; if you sell 10 cards or more you receive both!

We are asking that every family either get a donation from someone or make a donation of cash or a prize. If you know you’re not going to be able to ask for donations from your circle, please make a cash donation of $25 so we can purchase some prizes. Prizes can be small items - $25 or less. Think gift cards to restaurants and retailers. Handmade items. Candles. Silent auction baskets are typically a little more valuable. Most are themed – like a car care basket, spa basket, etc. And we would love some “grand prize” items – electronics, timeshares, and others. Please try to get any donations to Lori Class by Apr 30.

Please also help to promote this event! This event is appropriate for both teens and adults, so tell your friends at school! Here is a *flyer* that you can distribute. For tickets, contact Lori Class at lclass@socal.rr.com or 714.865.4198.

A big thank you to those of you who have already brought in donations!

Dale Carnegie, a well-known provider of business skills training, offers a 28-hour college-accredited High School Leadership and Communication Course to provide high school students with the skills they need to reach their goals at school, home, and work. You earn college credit and many local students have already taken this course. The next session in Orange County runs during spring break from Apr 18 through Apr 21. Here's the good part: Dale Carnegie will donate a portion of the tuition to the EHS Band and Color Guard Boosters! You can view the schedule of classes for the rest of 2011 (link). All you need to do is to tell other students about this course, and get them to mention our organization when they register! And of course, check it out yourself to see if it is something that could benefit you (just be sure to first make sure that the dates don't conflict with any band, drumline or color guard events)!
