New Schedule for Certificates For those of you who shop at either Kroger or Meijer on a regular basis, why not do it with a gift certificate? This helps out the band and doesn’t cost you anything extra. Here’s how it works: You purchase one or more gift certificates for $25 each, and spend them at Kroger or Meijer just like regular money. You’re not out anything and the band earns 5% off of each certificate sold. Everybody wins. Certificates are available at the Deutschman residence, 911 N. Wintergarden Rd, at the following schedule:
Starting in November the schedule will change to:
This is an easy fundraiser. All it takes is a little advance planning to buy certificates before you shop. So start now and get a supply on hand. Band Web Site The band web site (home.dacor.net/bghsband) is being updated with new photos for the 2002-2003 school year. There are a lot of new photos to be scanned and added so keep checking back. If you have photos to share, you may give them to any board member of email them to bghsband@dacor.net Bobcat Blankets The BG Bobcat blankets have arrived. If you haven’t seen one yet, they are red nylon -water repellent– with our logo on one side, and gray fleece on the reverse. The logo has Bowling Green Bobcats in large letters with a paw print in the middle. The cost is $35 and they are well worth it. If you are interested in a blanket, please contact Shirlee Bostdorff at 419-352-3381 or sbost@wcnet.org. Thank You Thanks to all the volunteers that helped during home football games in the concession stands. We really appreciated all the help and the volunteers were great. Hope to see you next year. Also to all of you that sent cards, prayers and what ever else you may have done for Ashley. It is great to know that the band family is "Family". Thanks again.
