[Dhsbb-jazz] Davis Jazz Festival raffle

[J. Hamaguchi]

Dear Band Booster Parents,

The Davis Jazz Festival is only 18 days away.  This is a free event on Saturday, October 10th in front of Borders and the Natsoulus Art Gallery. The Band Boosters  and all band students make the event successful by volunteering.  (Please refer to the previous Volunteer List that was sent out on Sunday, September 13th.)

To raise funds, the Band Boosters put a raffle together for the day of the Festival.  These items are raffled off between the many performances between 11:30 and 6:00.  The only way that the Band Boosters receive financial benefit from the Festival is from the sale of the raffle tickets.  The money from raffle tickets sold by your student prior to the Festival is credited directly to your student's travel account.  To make raffle tickets attractive, we need awesome raffle items. 

I have already contacted 45 businesses. Times are tough and donations are few.  There is no doubt that parents need to step up and help by donating attractive items that will help sell raffle tickets. To date from parents we have received a wonderful donation of a framed photograph from a renowned photographer, a week-end get away in a mountain cabin, gift certificates for The Artery, and the latest model of the I-pod touch.  (Suggestion:  In years past, band families have also donated "dinner and a movie" packages as raffle prizes.)

Please, do what you can to help our students and our Band Program.  

I can be contacted at desdhunt at comcast.net  or 750-5824 or 902-8394.
