Treasurer’s Report: The

After being reviewed by those present, a motion was made by Tom Reber to
pass the budget. Kevin Sornson
seconded. All were in favor. Budget was passed.
Marianne Reber
explained the student’s personal accounts system. Student accounts are posted in the orchestra room.
Marty Turner
requested that when money or checks are sent in for dress purchases, candy,
etc., it should be clearly marked as to what it is for.
Kroger Bucks: Every orchestra family that paid their membership fee this evening was given a $5.00 Kroger Card. Phyllis Davis explained the Kroger Bucks program. By purchasing a card from us and using it every time you buy groceries or prescriptions at Kroger, you contribute 5% of the total sale to the orchestra! If you would like to order a card call Phyllis at 223-7102.
Candy Sale: Next week’s fund-raiser was explained.
Membership
Fee: Each orchestra family is
asked to pay an annual fee of $25.00.
This money is used for instrument repair, equipment purchase and
administrative costs. This is a
required fee by our membership association and will help show your support of
your student’s musical interests! This
fee is especially important in light of the current reduced funding from
Fayette County Schools.
We need lots of help with the Playathon! Volunteer early.
