2 Hospitality, Volunteer and Chaperone Page Hospitality Needs Opportunities are still available to help during band camp, especially lunches on August 1, 2, and 3. Dessert donations are needed as well as help serving the meals. Please sign up in Charms. Desserts for band camp can be dropped off with your student in the morning. Please indicate whether the dessert is for lunch or dinner. Please remember that desserts should be nut free and it is helpful to send in on a plate that does not need to be returned. Gluten free and vegan desserts are also welcomed. We currently have a large inventory of bottled water on hand that I am trying to deplete before restocking our shed. We also have a large inventory of coke, Pepsi, and sprite. However, I am looking for donations of root beer, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Lipton Iced Tea, orange and grape soda to supplement our inventory. If you can contribute, please send your donation in with your student to practice or band camp. Please DO NOT send in donations of chips and other snack food at this time. We do not have the space to store such items and often they expire before we can use them. Please continue to read the E-Blasts and Facebook for opportunities to contribute such items. As always your help and support is very much appreciated!
