Tree and Wreath Sale

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:25:18 GMT

The MCHS Band will once again be selling Christmas trees, wreaths and centerpieces for our holiday fundraiser. The fundraiser brochures will be going home with the students on October 30th, so please watch for those. Final orders are due November 13th and the delivery date is December 6th.

Since we will not be doing the gift wrap booth at the mall this year, we need to make this fundraiser a success! However, we cannot accomplish that without your help. Contact your family and friends. Those living out of town may go to www.mcbbinc.homestead.com/wreaths.html to view a brochure and download an order form. Have your son or daughter ask the neighbors. Take the brochure to work. Let me know if you can leave some flyers on a counter or if you can hang up a poster.

Whatever it takes - PLEASE support your child and the MCHS Band Program!

Call Katie McFadden at 288-1154
