Our fundraiser at Wilkerson-Sanders Stadium is this coming Saturday April 21^st from 9 – 5.  We still need several band parents to volunteer to help at this event.  “It takes a village” they say and “We need YOU”…

 

We need test drive attendants above and beyond any other areas.  We must have 15 volunteers every hour from 9 – 5 just for the drive part of our event.  Drive Attendants will ride in the vehicle with those who come out to test drive.

 

We are still in need of donated items for our Bake Sale and items for our Food/Drink area.  You can sign up to volunteer and/or bring items on the same sign up page.  http://mysignup.com/rhsbandvolunteers

The sign up list is long because we need so many volunteers and items…just scroll down to see everything.  If you can help all day, please sign up for all the time slots. Then scroll down to see items needed.

 

If you own a business or know someone who may want to advertise in our Goody Bags or donate items to our Silent Auction please call or email

One person per family, 18 or older may sign up to Test Drive a Ford. This
