OFMA Update – September 30, 2010

Next Meeting – October 6, 2010, 7pm, High School Choir Room

“What an exciting time of year. The air is getting crisper. The leaves are changing. The days are getting shorter. The smell of fall and a hint of winter is in the air.” – Sam Arendec

Krispy Kreme Update (from Sam Arendec)
 
Wait, there’s a new scent. Can you smell it? The delicious, comforting smell of donuts; the aroma of opportunity. It brings with it the promise that when the seasons turn again there will be new chances to grow. A hope that when we have done our share, that those who come after us will have what they need to continue. A chance to make what was given to us stronger.

We have 3 home games left to make a difference. 3 more chances to earn funds that will help our music program to be better than it was yesterday. 3 more opportunities to make a new tradition in Olmsted Falls that can carry on for years. 3 more times to make Friday evenings and Saturday mornings a little sweeter.

I need your help and I am asking you to be a part of the new tradition. I need volunteers for the next 3 home games to man the Olmsted Falls Music Association Booth before the game, during half time, and at the end of the game. You need only choose 1 game, 1 shift. We need 2 people to setup, 2 at half time, and 4 as the crowds leave the stadium. The donuts sell themselves. We can also offer in and out privileges to the game as volunteers.

We have successfully sold out 300 dozen donuts the first 2 home games to earn over $1,200.00. With your help, we can earn another $1,800.00 over the next 3 games. With your help, we hope to move to 400 – 500 dozen at future games. Isn’t that worth an hour of your time?

The remaining home game dates are this Friday against Brecksville, October 22nd against Amherst, and finally October 29th against North Olmsted. If you can help out, send an email to ofmamusic@gmail.com and someone will contact you!

Falls Day in the Park Update
 
We will be manning a table at Falls Day in the Park this Sunday, Oct. 3rd, from 1-4 pm. We will have membership forms available as well as OFMA Merchandise at a discount for your consideration. Please come out and support the band and enjoy a Fall day with your neighbors and friends.
 
Razzles Wing Night Update
 
Our Razzles Wing Night Fundraiser is fast approaching, come out share a night of fun and great food with your Music Association friends on October 23, 2010. We are still looking for basket sponsors/donations, please contact us at ofmamusic@gmail.com if you can help out with a basket. We will be selling tickets at the OFMA Tent at home games, at our table at Falls Day in the Park or by contacting us at ofmamusic@gmail.com.

  1. Hi Sam,

    What a great update. The article about doughnut sales was so inspiring I sent it to my wife and brother with the hopes that they can help out (they both travel quite a bit).
    Thanks for writing.

  2. Below is a copy of the reply I sent earlier regarding the sousa bell covers.

    Another thought. We were at the Lakewood Battle of the Bands and several schools had bell covers. I found one site that listed them at $22/ea. It could be a cheap way to dress up the sousas.
