Dear Parents,
Well, it’s getting down to crunch time for benefit, in a couple of days we will be all participating in one way or other in this event. Thank you all for the help you are providing to the Music Department.
I would like to inform you we were able to reserve plane tickets, thanks to the down payment you did couple of weeks ago. As I mentioned in the last letter, we would like to go to Florida for Music Tour. I know we are facing difficult times with economy nevertheless, I know we can afford it with God’s help and by doing our part as well.
Another great new I want to share with you all is that Newburians is singing in Disney World on May 4th. I received a confirmation email few days ago and we are all excited about it!
Regarding the tickets, due date is November 4th, so from now until this date sell tickets like crazy. Don’t forget to mark on the flyer that I gave you the date, time and # of ticket(s) for your customer(s) in order to pick their tickets at the door. When someone purchases a ticket, they will receive a passport to the “after party” show that includes a meal ticket. If you need more flyers just let know with your child and I will provide more for you.
Also, I am willing to send an electronic copy or a hard copy of solicitation letter in case you choose this option as a fund raiser. All donations are tax deductible. Just fill out the info and address and I will mail them out for you. In past years, many students have used this method to pay off all or part of their tour fee, so please let me know if this is something that appeals to you.
Remember, each student needs to sell $150 in tickets for the benefit. If a student sells more than $150, then 50% of that extra money goes toward their tour fee. However, if they sell less than the $150, the difference will be added onto their tour fee. Remember, all tickets must be sold in advance in order for the student to receive credit. You must turn in your Tickets Sale Sheet on November 4th. Students cannot get credit if the sale is made at the door. If you have questions or concerns about selling tickets please do not hesitate to contact me.
Once again, music benefit concert will be on November 9, 2013, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and November 10th , 2013, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The official theme is “Princess Pageant.” If any of you have something that we can use to embellish our stage or cafeteria that we might borrow for this occasion, please let Mrs. Ramirez, Mrs. Vallado, or myself know. Also, if you are willing, or you know someone who is interested in donating supplies like food, money or time, please contact me, Mr. & Mrs. Gonzalez or any PTO members. If we have less expenses we will have more earnings.
Regarding how to dress for benefit, we are giving the opportunity to dress up formal and modest if your budget allows it. This is not mandatory though. Uniforms with some accessories like Minnie-Mickey ears/ hats will be perfectly fine.
Last but not least, we will need your help setting up the decoration. The tables and decoration committee are doing a wonderful job. Please set apart a time on the benefit week, especially Wednesday, November 5th through Friday, November 8th when we will be doing the major work for decoration. We need a lot of hands to do the job fast and not to load few people. Remember we are having two shows and require getting everything done before Friday sunset. Also, if you have not signed up for some clean-up, food, decoration or any other committee, contact me or Mrs. Champlin to know how you can help.
I am very sure that with God’s help and your help this Benefit Concert will be a success once more as in the past. Keep us in your prayers.
God bless,
Suny Lopez
