What to bring to the potluck on Saturday…
 
In addition to the potluck food, we would appreciate a case of water from each family, which will be used throughout the competition season to keep our students hydrated.  Just plop them into the golf cart trailer parked near the quad.
 
Bring your calendars to record the dates you sign up for volunteer offerings.  If you don’t happen to have a calendar, not to worry.  We still have a few of our fantastic Music Department Spiral Bound calendar.  Purchase price is $15.
 
 
Help Needed for Potluck…. From Rene!
 
We need the following volunteers:
6 people to help set up
4 people to prepare/refill drinks
