COMPETITIVE FUND
We are getting there but still have a good number of payments due. Payments were due August 1 & September 1. Please check your balances in CHARMS and get those payments in so we do not have to CANCEL any competitions this season.
VOLUNTEERS FOR SIEGEL
We need more volunteers for pit/props. Pleaselog into CHARMS and sign up to help.
CAR SHOW
Our first car show was a success. We had over 50 cars and some great vendors. Thank you to everyone who helped; from getting door prize donations to putting out fliers to helping run the event. We could not have done it without you!
FLAG FUNDRAISING PROGRAM
We are looking for 2-4 people to help run our flag fundraising program. The current organizers are stepping down after this season to enjoy their student’s senior seasons, but will train everyone taking their place. This is our largest fundraiser and we need your help to keep it running. Please email spartanbandchairman@gmail.com or spartanbandfundraising@gmail.com for more information.
