*** Truck Drivers Still Needed
Steve Ethier

Many thanks to those
of you who have volunteered to drive our lazy band equipment to and from the competitions. I still have open driver shifts as listed below:

11/9,10,11 BOA: Second driver needed for 24 foot truck, to and from LA. Primary and secondary drivers (i.e., two drivers) needed for 15 foot truck, to and from LA.

11/16,17,18,19 Championships: Primary and secondary drivers needed for 15 foot truck, to and from LA.

Please contact me at slethier_908@yahoo.com if you can help drive these trucks. These positions have to be filled, the band cannot complete without its equipment.


*** Tuesday Night Treats
Janice Maurer


We are asking parents to bring snacks for the kids to enjoy following their practice on Tuesday nights.
You would be surprised how hungry the kids are after putting in all that hard work and some don't have a chance to grab dinner. So, we like to put out alot of goodies along with some hot chocolate and milk. Would you commit to bringing some donuts or cookies or some other tasty treat? They can be store bought....these kids love all kinds of goodies and we hear Mr. G loves brownies.

If you would like to donate, please email Janice Maurer at jmaurerca@aol.com.

Thanks and Go Dons!!!!
