 fundraisers

Thanks for your participation in the fundraisers. We are aggressively trying to meet our budget and it is a challenge with the state of our economy, so everyone's participation is desired and encouraged. We appreciate all that you can do in support of the band.

 women's night out reminder

Women's Night Out will be on Monday, February 2, 7:00 PM at Paige Cragg's house. Join us for a fun evening of skin care from Mary Kay, appetizers from Entree Vous and desserts from Honey Baked Ham. Marva Hicks (Terrell's mom) will be on hand with some Mary Kay skin care and makeup products you can try.  She has graciously offered to donate any profits from sales that night to the band boosters.  Plus, you can try out some samples from other booster fundraisers—Entrée Vous and Honey Baked Ham.  Come and pamper yourself for the night.  Questions? Contact at Pccragg@aol.com.

auto bell

The Auto Bell Charity Car Wash Ticket Sale has begun. Tickets cost $13.95 and are good for a "Full Service Wash" (including vacuuming carpet & seats, dusting inside, towel drying exterior, cleaning windows interior and exterior). The band will make 50% ($6.97) for each ticket sold. The sale will run through the month of February. Order forms are available from Michael Hall and posted on the band's website. Michael will deliver tickets to the students as the orders come in so that buyers can start using the tickets ASAP. The tickets are good at all Auto Bell locations. An Auto Bell is located at 5206 NC 55. Check their website (www.autobell.com) for additional locations.

candy sale

The Jordan Band program is sponsoring a Candy Sale to run form January 29 – February 27. Students will have the option of selling pre-packaged boxes of assorted candy bars.  Each box will contain either 30 or 52 candy bars and each candy bar will be sold for $1.00 each.  Students will receive 1/3 of the profits of what they sell to go toward their Spring Break Trip.  Depending on the number of candy bars in the boxes they sell, they could earn somewhere between $5 and $7.50 per box.  Parents must sign a permission slip accepting financial responsibility for the candy signed out to their student.  Students will sell one box at a time, but are not limited as to how many boxes they can sell.
