OFMA Update – October 19, 2010
Next Meeting – November 10, 2010, High School Choir Room
Thank you to all who have mailed, dropped off or sent to school your 2010-2011 Olmsted Falls Music Association Membership check. Your sponsorship plays a large role in providing Education Support, Scholarships and assistance to our Band/Choir Directors to further the musical education of students throughout the District. It was great to see so many new faces at the October OFMA Meeting and we look forward to seeing more new faces at future meetings. Special thanks to those core members who offer much support which is vital to continuing our mission for music excellence in the District!
Now for the update:
During the October Meeting we reviewed several upcoming fundraising activities which include:
- The sale will be for thirty days and is primarily supported by Middle School and High School Students. We will need volunteers to assist with tallying orders and pizza distribution, both take place at Razzles Rocker’s Café. We will send another update when the dates are confirmed and with additional sale details.
- We have sold out 300 dozen donuts at each of the first three home games, with net profit approaching $1,900. We will also be selling Krispy Kreme Donuts at most music events throughout the District this year and appreciate your support of this new signature fund-raising activity. We have two home games left and are looking for volunteers, 2 pre-game, 2 for half-time and 4-5 for post game sales. Send us an email at ofmamusic@gmail.com and we will contact you.
- This event will take place at Razzles, October 23, 2010, from 7pm to 9pm. Tickets are $15.00 per person for all you can eat pizza, wings and beverages. Your entry ticket will also be entered into a drawing for a $100 cash prize. There will be a basket raffle, side boards and other opportunities to support OFMA.
- The old band gig bags which were replaced this year are being donated to the West Side Crisis Center. At a Music Directors request two motions were brought to the floor and approved:
1. OFMA will provide $675 to support the SWC Symposium, hosted this year by Olmsted Falls High School. These funds will defray the cost of dinner for symposium student attendees.
2. OFMA will support the acquisition of 69 dresses to support the choir programs at the High School, estimated cost is $45.00 each.
P.S. We appreciate your comments, input and ideas, additionally if you have a picture to share from a District music event please email it to us at ofmamusic@gmail.com
