Greetings Band Parents and Mac Band Supporters,

A Message from the President (Owen)
It is hard to believe that Band Camp is next week!!! Please click on the link if you’re able to volunteer in any way. If you sign up to bring snacks or water, please keep your receipts so that the McMinnville Band Parent Organization (MBPO) can reimburse you. Snack recommendations include: granola bars, fruit and cheese sticks. Any help is appreciated. Here’s the link: volunteersignup.org/EQQDY

A Message from the Sponsorship Chair (Jamie)
We NEED some HELP! We have over 160 ($1200) bags of cans and bottles that need to be delivered to bottle drop locations.
I have an appointment for next Thursday 5th and Friday 6th to take 50 bags each time to Tigard. If anyone is able to take the load of 50 on Thursday that would be helpful.
However, we need help taking bags of 10 to various Bottle Drops before then.
If you are going to NEWBERG (Fred Meyer), SALEM (various Bottle Drop locations) TIGARD (Bottle Drop near Bull Mountain Rodd off Highway 99) WILSONVILLE (Safeway), MONMOUTH (Roths) or DALLAS (Safeway) and can fit at least 10 bags (10 fit in a Prius) in your vehicle can you please let me know so we can meet and get you the bags.
The bags are in the band trailer and we need to get it emptied out to use for the upcoming band season. Let me know or contact Brian at Incahoots (text 907-901-6477) he has a key to the trailer as well.
You are welcome to text me at 541-910-2814 to coordinate a time to get some bags.
You can just grab 10 and then take them when you are going to one of the locations nearby.

Where to Find Information
Band Camp starts in just a few days and all the information you need is now available on the MacBand website. Dates, times, what the kids need to bring, etc. If you have questions you don’t find the answers to, drop us an email and we will do our best to get you the answers.

Here’s to a great season,
Brian Bailey
