Adults and students, 15 or over, are needed to help staff a Boston Scientific employee picnic at the Monroe County Fairgrounds Aug.6-7 (note date change!) and earn $3,500 for our band program. What an opportunity!

We do not yet have the number of volunteers we need in order to earn the money for this event. Please check your calendars and consider signing up! If you signed up previously, please sign up again to confirm that the new dates are ok for you. It's just one day (or even part of a day on Friday) of your time that would bring in needed money for our outstanding BHSN Band Program! This is an excellent opportunity for families to work together. It's ok to get your neighbors and friends involved, too!

We need more than 100 volunteers to make this happen, so we need YOU!! Don't think someone else will do it. It's up to each of us to help if we want our band program to maintain its record of excellence! (These funds do not go toward the ECA fundraising campaign, but they will be used for operating expenses for the band program.)

The dates have been changed since the first emailed request for volunteers - from July 23-24 to Friday, August 6 and Saturday, August 7. Hopefully, these dates will work out even better for our band family with many of us back from vacations and other summer commitments. For those who already signed up to work, please email Nan Morrow to let her know if you can still work these new dates, and please include the following information in your response:

• Names of all volunteers
• Which date(s) you'd like to work (Aug. 6 or Aug. 7)
