News – February 22, 2021

Greetings Band Parents and Mac Band Supporters,

This week’s email is all about 4 super easy ways you can help support the band.

Number 1: First Federal Customer Ballot
If you have an account at First Federal Savings & Loan, be sure to grab your 2021 Customer Ballot and vote for the McMinnville Music Boosters. No need to write us in as this year we are officially on the ballot! (left hand column near the bottom of the page.) Ballots must be returned by February 28th!

Note: If you didn’t receive a ballot in the mail, you can pick one up at any branch.

Number 2: Bottle and Can Drive
Our next Bottle & Can Drive is coming up this Saturday, February 27th. Once again, we’ll be in the Incahoots parking lot (905 NE Baker Street) from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Please drop by with your donation of returnable bottles and cans. And for an extra dose of helpfulness, volunteer to hang out and bag up the donations. It’s easy, fun, and offers interesting aromas. Here’s the link to the sign up sheet.

Number 3: Sponsorship Drive
The MacBand 2021 Sponsorship Drive will be starting soon and Melanie, Jamie, and Jennifer have been hard at work getting everything ready. They have created an interesting and informative newsletter which will soon be sent to prospective donors. So put on your thinking cap, beret, or shako (plume optional) and let us know who you think might be willing to support the band. I’m sure you can come up with a few names.

Number 4: Eat Pie
The band’s annual Pi Day Pie Sale is starting soon! When you buy a pie or 2 from one of your favorite band students, you help them earn money towards their fall band fees. Forms and ordering information will be available this week.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you soon,
Brian Bailey
