Banquet set May 6; help make senior placards April 25

Dear parents and WRHS music supporters;

The 2009 Band Banquet is coming soon. It will be held Wednesday, May 6, at the Mount Vernon Country Club at 6:30 p.m.

Please look for your invitation coming soon in the next week or so!

For the fourth year in a row, the boosters were able to keep the price for our guests the same: $20 per person.

Please note that your music student WILL BE PAID FOR by the boosters.

Any extra family or extra guests are welcome, at the same price of $20 per person. We look forward to seeing all of you at the banquet! Please remember to RSVP when you get your invitation.

Two side notes:

1. If you are a staff member and have not e-mailed your address to Christy, please do so as soon as possible so we can get your invitation out. Christy's e-mail address is cmuncey@jeffco.k12.co.us.

2. The Boosters will be having a get-together at Beth Chandler's home on Saturday, April 25, at 6 p.m. This evening is being planned so we can make the "Senior Thingies" for the banquet.....OK....if anyone knows what the heck they are called please e-mail me ....LOL...I am embarrassed to say that I have no idea what these things are called but we put them on every table and they tell everyone what the seniors are going to be doing...little facts about them etc....We are getting crafty this year so we thought we'd make a night of it and have some fun while we were doing them. Booster members will be there and ALL SENIOR PARENTS are encouraged to attend if you can. NO STAFF please...we will be creating a few "thingies for you as well. :) Directions for Beth's are below and if you have any questions please call Jebbi at 303-462-0084.

Directions to Beth Chandler's house: 13705 Braun Rd., Golden, Colo.

From the East: West on 32nd toward Golden, under I-70. Turn left on Braun Court. (It's the first left you can make after you pass Manning.) Turn right on Braun Road when Braun Court ends. Go past the stop sign at Crabapple, and Beth's house is the second house on the right.
