[Holly Di]

I know we are all suffering in this economy, but how about a nice dinner with big band jazz playing for a good cause.  The 
theme of the evening is Jazz over Manhattan.  Silent Auction. Last year the Silent auction began at 6:00 the music starts  
at 6:30 Dinner is served at 7pm,  More music with more Dancing, 7:30-815, then they start again at 8:30 for 15 more min then
Auctions close at 8:45.  It's a great time.  Besides auctions items last year we had packages where the kids would come do 
yard work, babysit, housecleaning, voice and music lessons were offered too  The kids love the music program and they ready
to work hard to make this fund raising event a success.  Tickets are $20.00 each. 

If you have a Band student or future band student  come check out the Jazz band, they will be playing great songs like, 
Smoke gets in your eyes, All of me, Take the A train, It had to be you, and Moonlight Serenade . 
Then a wonderful **Dinner is served by students. Dinner is going to be catered by Maggies Buns. This year she is also 
providing us with desert.  We are getting a lot of support from our Local Business's Ace Hardware, Jennings Mcall and our
local Paper Forest Grove News Times to name a few. 

Mr Ostwalt  is doing a great job keeping costs down for our program.  He does the very best with the budget he gets.  This
event is the ONE fundrasier we have for the band.  Band/Music is available to all students.  Forest Grove is well known for 
our commitment to the arts and music.  

*Parents we also can use more volunteers, contact Mr Ostwalt he will get you in touch with the coordinators.
