I wanted to share some great news we received from Rob Matson, the NOCS District Treasurer, regarding this year’s payment for our new Marching Band uniforms. When we contacted him about sending in our first installment of $5,000, he sent us the following reply:
“I spoke with the Board of Education regarding the funds advanced to NOBOB for the purchase of the new uniforms for the marching band. The Board of Education’s fund raising campaign has been very successful and Mr. Lasko has directed me to waive NOBOB’s $5,000.00 repayment for the current year. The Board of Education will continue their effort in obtaining corporate donations to offset NOBOB’s future installment payments. However, they cannot guarantee future donations will be sufficient to off-set all future installments.”
This is wonderful news for NOBOB and we really appreciate the Board of Education’s efforts on our behalf. We will put that $5,000 in our uniform fund to be used towards the future purchase of new uniforms.
