Also, if it fills, we can add a second time for your group which will give you more of a chance to be one of the high dollar fundraisers to get a match from our company.  We'd love to add a third time slot too if the second one fills!

Dear Parents:

Thanks for all of you who have made donations to FHIMA this year by becoming members, helping with the Fall Band Expo, and/or buying the Buy-it-in-Anderson Coupon books! Our last major fundraiser of the year is coming quickly, the annual FHIMA Spaghetti Dinner at Nagel Middle School on Saturday, March 9th.
 
As part of the fundraiser, we do a silent auction of gift baskets at the dinner. Each school's band and orchestra is asked to provide a basket for the auction. I will be assembling the basket(s) for our school over the next couple of weeks. We are asking each family to donate $3-$5 to purchase items for the baskets.
 
If you or your employer has an item to donate for auction, I can design a basket around it or it can be an auction item on its own.
 
Please send donations to school in an envelope marked FHIMA by Friday, February 22nd, and they will find their way to me.
 
Thanks again for your support!
 
Sincerely,
 
Alice Bohn
FHIMA representative for Sherwood
