Boosters Meeting

Music Boosters meeting in the library Thursday, 29 November.

Socialize beginning at 6:30PM and meeting from 7-8PM.

Auction Dinner Kickoff

The annual Gala/Dinner/Auction is a great opportunity to raise money for the music program. Last year we earned over $5000

So far this year we’re lagging a bit behind and looking to pick up the pace!

The bands are depending on us to help them raise money for clinicians and this is the best event to do that.

We need help procuring items!

Not the cold-call or door-knocker type? Here are some alternatives:

• Organize the music kids to provide a service. Groups of 2 or more to
  play at an event, offer lessons, manual labor or artistic endeavors.
• Ask family members to donate to a basket you can submit to the auction instead of
  exchanging gifts. Ideas for this could include themes like sports, pets, games, music,
  food, spa, books, art, or hobbies. Better yet have a fun competition within the family
  to see which members can create the most interesting or fun basket to donate.
• If you own a business please consider donating services/items. Everything from
  yard care, handyman work, pet sitting, manicures, face painting, baking, providing a special or exotic meal, doing taxes, consulting or organizing.
• Give memories – send family & friends tickets for the event so they can enjoy an evening of food, music, auctions and comedy
• We can earn 25% commission on auction sponsorships (see the sponsership
  information pdf). Do you know a business that would like to sponsor the auction?

On October 20th the Music Boosters are holding the third annual mattress fundraiser. The event will be held at MTHS in the hub from 10AM to 5PM.

One of our biggest fundraisers, this one day only event is a great opportunity to support local arts while scoring an amazing deal on a fantastic new mattress!

Get huge discounts on new, name-brands such as: Simmons, Beautyrest and Restonic. All sizes and many options – such as pillow-top – are available.

The boosters need your help to spread the word by inviting all of your family and friends.

Did we mention the huge savings off retail prices?

Profits from mattress sales go directly to the MTHS Music Boosters.

See you on October 20th, at Mountlake Terrace High School from 10AM-5PM.

I guess the whole thing is really my note, but to recap a few items as we head into new board elections. In August 2016, a new Music Board met to discuss goals for the term. There were NO returning board members so we were starting to just figure out our roles and our goals….
