SPAGHETTI DINNER FOOD DONATIONS

Spaghetti Dinner is a fundraiser that benefits Winter Guard and Indoor Percussion. It is expected that these two groups would provide the food and monetary donations to roll out the dinner.  The entire band family and friends are encouraged to attend the Spaghetti Dinner and enjoy the show.

We plan on feeding approximately 250 people this year. In the past two years, we have been able to make the Spaghetti Dinner 100% profitable by soliciting donations for the labor and food items needed to make it happen. Feel free to sign up for as many donations as you like! Don't forget, we need volunteers, too - so check the other sign up genius list to put in some valued time!

For this sign up, you are either donating MONEY to purchase the needed items listed OR THE ACTUAL ITEM. All money and items are due by Monday, March 6th. If you are donating the money for the item, place the proper amount in CASH in an envelope labeled "Spaghetti Dinner Donations" and put it in the Blue Box. If you are donating the actual item, place it in the Booster Room by March 6th. 

NOTE: Publix has many Italian BOGO items this week - sale runs 2/24-3/1! Pasta included!

CHICK-FIL-A BOOTH AT SEMINOLE POW WOW

Please sign up to work the Chick-fil-A Booth at Seminole Pow Wow. All proceeds go into the band's general fund.

Chick-Fil-A has again generously offered our band the opportunity to staff their stand at Seminole Pow Wow (at the Seminole Recreation Center).  Last year, we made over $1600 in profit!  Volunteers will be responsible for selling Chick-fil-A sandwiches and nuggets as well as any candy and chips left over from Seminole Visual.  We will also need one of the volunteers on each shift to be the "runner" (picking up the orders from Chick-fil-A and delivering them to our stand at the Pow Wow).  The Friday night of this event is also the Spaghetti Dinner.  It is imperative that we have volunteers at this site!!!!
