Silent Auction – Donation Request

Dear Band Parents,

As you may know, we are having a fundraiser dinner “Parade of Dreams Gala” on July 26 to help defray the travel expenses for the upcoming Rose Parade trip. A major event during the dinner will be a Silent Auction where the participants can bid on a wide variety of merchandise and services.

From band parent meetings earlier this year, one of the keys to the success of this trip is parents volunteering at least 30 hours of their time. We would like to give you the opportunity to receive credit towards your 30 hours through this event. We are asking parents to look to their employers (or any other businesses) to see if they can donate towards the Silent Auction. Items that we are looking for include art/collectibles, jewelry, hotel stays, and gift certificates for services, activities, or merchandise. You will receive credit toward your 30 hours in portion to the fair market value of the donation.

If, upon asking, someone does want to donate an item, they may either complete the attached donation form or complete one online. If they choose to complete the attached form, please be sure they write in the detailed description section, “credit goes to your child’s name”. If they complete the form online at www.mauihighband.org (click on Silent Auction), have them write “credit goes to your child’s name” in the description section of the form. Please try your best to collect the item and deliver it to Mr. Wasano at the bandroom.

Should you have any questions,please feel free to contact the Silent Auction committee listed
below.

Thank you,

Silent Auction Committee

Rose Parade Meeting – Wednesday, June 18 at 6:30pm

There will be a meeting for all Rose Parade participants and parents on Wednesday June 18 at 6:30pm at the Band Room.  On the agenda:

  • Makena Beach Dinner – How you can help
  • Other opportunities to volunteer
  • Carl’s Jr. Coupon Booklets
  • Maui Oil Car Wash Fundraiser

Questions?  Make sure you jot them down and bring them to the meeting! One of our Boosters will be happy to assist you.

Carl’s Jr. & Green Burrito Coupon Booklets – $5.00 each

Carl’s Jr. & Green Burrito will again be participating this year with the fundraising efforts of the MHS Band Booster Club. As you already know, offsetting this year’s mainland travel cost will be an ongoing challenge throughout the year, and hopefully this booklet can help everyone in the process. This program is voluntary, but can benefit all that need to find ways to lower costs. We can all use that!

These fundraising booklets that retail for $5, have over $13 in free food, as well as over $89 in additional discounts. This is over a $100 value. Offers are valid through 12/31/2015, and they are also good at any participating restaurants on the mainland.

Students will be selling these booklets to family, friends, and the general public, and will receive 100% credit for each book sold credited to their Rose Parade account. Carl’s Jr. is donating the booklets, and donating all food redeemed from the coupons.

We would like to start distribution after band practice on June 16th, 2014. The beginning allotment is 10 booklets per student. As a bonus, we will be giving one free booklet per family to use when the initial distribution is made (sometimes it’s easier to sell when you have tried the coupons yourself). After you sell your first 10 booklets, you may turn in the money to get another additional 10 booklets. There is a limited initial supply. Those participating that need additional books may have the allotment of the students not participating on a first come, first serve basis after June 30th. Again, this is a voluntary program, and you can earn as much as you are willing to put in.We are able to reorder if the need warrants in the future. Any questions or additional booklets needed?  You can just text me at 264-1059, or email me at mmv5595@hawaiiantel.net.
