Uniform Repair: Help Needed
We'll be working on finishing up uniform repairs this week during rehearsals -- if you can sew a seam; attach a button; or have other general sewing skills .. and if you're available to help ... please let Dottie Andrews know.  Dorothy.Andrews@fcps.edu
 
Tag Day THANK YOU!
Big thanks to everyone who helped make our second tag day a success -- we finished up several neighborhoods, and left the "Sorry we missed you" envelopes on hundreds more doors.  Mail-in donations are coming in, and we've collected over $13,000 so far!   Special thanks to Erin Fitzsimmons for all her work organizing everything, and thanks to Sabrena Capel for keeping track of all the money.
 
 
I hope the week is off to a good start for everyone ... I look forward to seeing you at one of our events this week!
 
Lorraine
