<DIV>We have just the next couple of weeks to the May 15th
deadline to bring in the last $100,000 to save music in the fall.</DIV>

<DIV>Here is another way to help out the SAVE OUR MUSIC!
Campaign.<BR></DIV></FONT></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>GOT STUFF? (that you want to get rid of) If you

size=3><BR>Remember, to stop the Music Teacher's pink slips becoming layoffs, we
need to have raised the money by May 15. Money raised after that date will
continue to help, but we would like to have the four pink slips that went to Mr.
Moreno, Mr. Zinn, Mr. Quick and Mr. Brucker rescinded and keep the elementary
program intact. By having the $200,000 in the bank before May 15th,
classes will scheduled for fall rather than be cut and teachers will not be
reassigned. If we wait until June or the summer to raise the full
amount, it will be too late to save the music program as it exists today.
