Dewey's - Help Needed
Hello Band Family, We hope you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday and were able to share some time with family whether virtually or in person. We want to thank everyone who helped make this year's Dewey's store a success. Even without sugar cakes on our last two days, we surpassed last year's sales, and we did it safely. Later this month we'll share more details, and credits will be applied to band accounts for those who worked. We have a few lost and found items. If you think they may be yours, please email us and we'll send you a picture to verify. food container left in the fridge- clear with green latch, 3 compartments, had cheese & crackers and carrots in it 2 small black umbrellas We have one final task for this season. We need to move all our fixtures and supplies to the band barn and field storage at the school, and we could use a few extra people to help. This will require lifting and moving some heavy items. It should only take a couple of hours to load the truck and unload again at the school. If you're able to help, please sign up at the link below and meet us at the store at 10am this Saturday, January 9th. Thanks! The Dew Crew (Dewey's Committee) |
