Happy 2012!
 
Since marching season is over, weekly updates may not be necessary, so we'll do monthly updates, noting the date updated in the title.  Be sure to put these dates on your calendar for January.
 

Market Day - 1/7 @ 11 PM CST last day to place an order online at www.marketday.com. 
 

As we put the finishing touches on our Breakfast with Santa event, we need a little help from our band family. We need donations of Christmas cookies for our Cookie walk and wrapping paper for the Santa Shoppe. All donations will be collect on Friday, December 9th between 7-9pm in the commons. Please email me at amcjinvestment@yahoo.com if you able to contribute a donation of cookies and/or wrapping paper.

Cookie Dough Contest from Market Day
Update - December sales was 20 orders of cookie dough.  And I've come to find that the sale was only thru our December pick up date.  We didn't have enough sales to have a winner.  Let's try to increase our Market Day purchases in the upcoming months.  Take a look at www.marketday.com and see how you can help support the music program.

In our continuing effort to support the RMHC, we've been asked to distribute the following request for help from Ryan Wilkins, Director of Community Relations & Marketing.  Please note, the attachments will be sent out via email message to our current distribution lists.

Congragulations to Mike Sewell, Tim Gorgas, Ron McClelland, Jamie Watt, the support staff and the entire Pickerington Marching Tiger Band!  What a way to end the marching band season!  Parents are proud; the community is proud; relish the feeling of being the best you can be!

I wanted to get back to you to let you know the number of items donated Saturday at the McDonald’s, Pickerington High School event. You were close in guessing but just a little low the actual number was ………………………….THREE THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTY EIGHT! Unbelievable I know you know how grateful we are but I want to say it again THANK YOU so much.

I wanted to say thank you to all who helped make this weekend a success!  To the chaperones and support groups for Friday night's football game at Grove City, to those that helped with and donated to the Pickerington Gives Back at McD's Saturday, to you who chaperoned and helped our kids in Newark and New Philly, getting home in the wee hours of the morning - I thank all of you!
I say it always, we can't do it without you, and it's the truth!  You are great and very much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Chris Oehlman
