I am sending this message to appeal to you for help. As many of you know, our Marching Band uniforms are 31+ years old and in desperate need of replacement. Our largest fundraiser in the past has been running the concession stands at home football and soccer games and selling corn at the North Olmsted Homecoming. There is no question that the next two years are going to be challenging with our roaming “home” stadium. Needless to say, we need every penny that we can earn at every opportunity that we have so that we can replace the uniforms, as well as pay for the many other expenses we incur as the Booster organization. That being said, we have many “volunteer opportunities” coming up quickly. Not all of them are for fundraising, but many are.
Our Marching Band currently has almost 140 members. There are a handful of parents currently signed up to help. For those of you who have not signed up, would you please reconsider? This week alone is one of our busiest times of the year. Believe me, I know you are all busy! I understand that, but so are all the people who are currently volunteering. If you would each sign up to help once this year, it would help immensely! Remember, we are doing this for ALL of the students, not just our own.
Many of the parents in the past have found that volunteering is a great opportunity to meet their students’ friends and other parents. Working with other NOBOB parents is an enjoyable experience!
Students — you are more than welcome to sign up to help at the Homecoming, just not during the football game Thursday or during the parade on Sunday.
Thank you!
