Winter Break BBX Tourney Concessions - Monday and Tuesday!

BBX Tourney Concessions - Snacks and Drinks Only!!



Here's who's working Monday December 29:
Students: McKenzie Mc; Evan K; Emmet M; Jacob R
Adult: Diana M
3:30 - 8 ish PM.

Now, about Tuesday. The only person signed up right now is Julia P. This is a bit problematic - we need at least one other student and one adult. Same hours as Monday. Who is willing to come work? There may be a little added incentive, since it's in the middle of the break and no one is super-excited to come and do school-type things during the break. So, who's in? It can even be a shifting of someone from Monday to Tuesday. Hurry - this needs to be decided right away!  No, really - TONIGHT.

It's Time For GBX/BBX Concessions!

This week we begin the 2014-15 GBX/BBX Concessions fundraiser. We are the sole basketball concessionaire at Tigard High, and each student who is associated with our program (including MB, WDL, and WG) is required to work at least one evening. All proceeds fund the general band program. Signups were first made available at the November Band Booster meeting and have been outside Irving and McKee's office ever since. So far, this week's shifts are posted on the sidebar at mckeesfabulousforum.com - the rest will go up by the end of the week. To see the details of any shift, click on the title of the game and you'll see who is scheduled.

At least one adult is required by school administration and band policy to be present for each shift. This is a safety requirement; students are dealing with money and food preparation and adult supervision is essential. Right now, we have three shifts this week, and we need to have an adult step up to work Thursday December 4. There are clear directions posted for operating and running the stand, and McKee will be there at the beginning to answer your questions. Please email McKee below right away if you can do this - if we don't have an adult, we will not be able to open, which will cause us to lose several hundred dollars and possibly put our contract with the Athletic Program in jeopardy. The nice thing about doing it this week? You'll get it out of the way for the year! Yay!

Can YOU be the one to help this Thursday? Click on the link below and sign up!  :)
