Booster Meeting September 23 at 6 PM

Dear Choir Families and Friends,

On behalf of the Mamas & Papas Choir Boosters, I would like to welcome you to our wonderful choir program. As your director I can tell you I have an exciting and busy year prepared for your singer!  The level of commitment and ability I have seen in the past three weeks from our students has been exceptional. We are preparing for exceptional things and need all of your help. I repeat, we are preparing for exceptional things and need all of your help.

The Mamas  & Papas strongly invites and encourages you to be a part of this great organization. Choir families and friends help and support our choir by volunteering their time and resources to enhance the program.  We are building an exceptional program with the help of your very talented son or daughter. Now, more than ever, they need your influence and support in their lives. Partnering with them as they become a highly active and visible voice in the school and community is a wonderful opportunity for all of us.

Our first meeting will be MONDAY, September 23, 2013 from 6 to 7.

Please plan on attending! We want one or more parents from every household.

We have many opportunities for participation such as contributing to our Benefactor Program and Ad Sales which raise money for the choir, as well as volunteering at the various functions our choir is involved in. The Mamas & Papas needs and welcomes any amount of time you can contribute. Typically, we meet once a month and we always try and make the meetings LESS THAN AN HOUR!

Our website, www.TheChoralStinger.com  is the source of all important news and information regarding choir activities such as fundraising, competitions, concerts, and general  Mamas & Papas news.  I do encourage you to visit our website on a weekly basis for updated information.

Again, welcome to the Arlington Heights Choral Department and please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions regarding our Booster Club. I look forward to meeting and talking to each of you soon!
