AMA – A few more volunteers needed!

March 31, 2023 Off By Argyle Info

Hello Music families!

 

We hope you had a restful Spring Break! Now that school is back in the swing of things, we are even closer to our Cabaret Night scholarship fundraiser on May 26! A brief reminder that Argyle CABARET NIGHT is the primary fundraiser for ALL OF our graduating music students SCHOLARSHIPS (not just jazz students). This year, our 41st Cabaret, will be “Fan Favourites and More”! We still need some help to make this a successful evening.

 

Program Printing

Our regular printer, Contact Printing, has changed ownership since last year’s Cabaret Night and they are no longer able to offer us free printing. They have generously offered a 50% discount, however this still leaves a $250 cost to cover. Are there any families/business owners who would be willing to make their donation to our fundraiser by paying part or all of this cost? You will be thanked in said program! Please email icanhelp@argylemusic.ca if you can help with this!

 

Planning & Production Team

PLEASE consider being part of our fabulous planning and production team – last year’s team was incredible and we hope to see all these volunteers return plus many more! We will be sending out a volunteer sign-up sheet for day-of Cabaret volunteer shifts in the coming weeks, but still need a couple more volunteers to join our set-up/décor committee. Please email icanhelp@argylemusic.ca and tell us if you would like to help! Volunteers get PRIORITY ACCESS to Cabaret Tickets!

 

Silent Auction

We are also currently collecting items for the Cabaret SILENT AUCTION – what we need most now are bottles of wine and/or spirits (lots as these are hot sellers!), chocolates, gift cards, pantry items (not expired), etc. Suzann Millar is chairing the auction and can be reached at synaro@shaw.ca or donations can be dropped off to Mr. Clements or Ms. Chan in the music department. The Silent Auction raises most of the funds used for the Music Scholarships and running the auction is an enormous job! Suzann can use a few more helpers to put together and run the auction. Please consider lending a hand…many hands make light work!

 

Please join us for our next Cabaret planning meeting on Tuesday, April 11 @ 7pm in person in the Argyle Library.Thanks for your continuing support and interest in your child’s music education. We are very excited for you to be a part of presenting another fabulous and successful Argyle Cabaret!

 

With thanks,

 

Argyle Cabaret Committee
