Seminole Sound is less than 2 months away, and the deadline for selling ads is fast approaching: September 16th. That's only 1 month left to sell! Get out there and sell sell sell -- this is a great way to fund raise for your fair share! If you have any questions or need ad forms, email Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com.
We are looking for a coordinator for the fall garage sale. The sale is typically held in the parking lot of Seminole High School on a Saturday morning. All proceeds from each family’s sales are collected at the end of the morning and applied to the students Charms ledger. One possible date is Oct 1st, but we are open to other dates. The garage sale dates will not be available from Sat Oct 8th through Sat Nov 12th due to band competitions. If you are interested, please contact Lourdes Pickart @ luly632@gmail.com.

The Marching Band Boosters run the concession stand at all our home JV and Varsity football games. For the past few years, our concession stand has raised about $12,000 per season! This anticipated profit has already been passed on to each of our marching band members. Every member’s Fair Share is $100 less than it should have been, thanks to the profits of our stand. Football season is fast approaching and we need your help. We have a JV game on Thursday, September 1, and a Varsity game on Friday, September 2, and right now we are desperately short volunteers. Without the proper number of volunteers, we will not be able to open both concession stands and may not be able to sell grilled food, negatively impacting our profits. Please go to the link below and sign up to help. For more questions, please contact Renee Hall @ scottnrenee@yahoo.com.
