Subject: FACE Parent Meeting

Date: December 3, 2009 9:42:23 PM EST


Greetings, friends:
Thanks to all for the outstanding showing at last night's meetings. On that note, this is a reminder of our upcoming meeting with all FACE parent representatives, as well as any interested parent from any of our 25 school pyramids.
Important Info:
Date: Monday, December 7, 2009
Time: 7:30 pm
Place: King of Kings Lutheran Church
Address: 4025 Kings Way - Fairfax, VA 22033 (very near the intersection of US Rt. 50 and Fairfax County Parkway)
At this meeting, as previously advertised, we will:
  • conduct a general overview of the process, history, and anticipated flow of events in the coming weeks and months
  • review some common goals, understandings and "talking points"
  • identify "to do" items for parent organizations at the school level
  • establish a "steering committee" to facilitate future gatherings
  • Seek specific volunteers for selected tasks.
Also available at this meeting: FACE "Save Band and Orchestra" tee shirts, which will be especially useful for visual impact at upcoming meetings and events. Shirts will be available at $10 each, and for larger groups, 10 shirts for $70. Any checks may be made to FACE, and proceeds will go to funding upcoming expenses as we advocate for our students.

As I mentioned in my previous email, this effort is for the tenaciously spirited: many useful, productive actions have already taken place, but we are just beginning in our efforts to preserve the elementary band and orchestra music programs. I look forward to seeing you next Monday.
All the best.
