Psssst! Wanna Buy a Magazine?

Remember all my talk about how expensive Nick’s band season is?

Want to help??

You can buy, renew, or extend your subscrition to you favorite magazine online, and 40% of the cost goes to the band!  (They split the profits 50/50 between general band expenses, and secifically allocated to the student’s Fair Share contribution).

And please - tell everyone you know!  Who doesn’t subscribe to at least one magazine, right?  :)

Thank you!

Marching Nick!

As you may recall, Nick is now a proud member of the Coral Reef senior High School Barracuda Marching Band.  Cute uniforms:

Even looks cute on little sisters:

Marching Nick & Jewel

Aren’t they the cutest?  <ahem>

They had their first marching performance at the football team’s first (pre-season) game last Saturday night.  The football team won against American, and the band was terrific!

I am *so* proud of Nick - a lot of time and effort goes into something like this, and it shows!

Support Your Local Barracuda

Well, it’s official:  band costs a fortune.  On top of the new clarinet we bought and the ongoing private lessons, there’s the marching season gear, the concert season apparel, AND Nick has to pay hundreds of dollars towards his “fair share” of the band’s expenses - competition fees, transportation, dry cleaning the parade uniforms, guest teachers, etc.  Yikes!

The school year hasn’t even started yet, and we’re already behind the curve on fundraising - so I’m posting this appeal for help.

We have two main avenues open right now:

1.  “Sponsor” Nick by making a direct donation.

Email me for addresses and more information - tiffany (at) tiffanyblitz (dot) com.

  • Your check is made payable to the band program
  • Your contribution is tax-deductible
  • Nick receives credit for 100% of the amount of your dontation

This program is set to end on Friday, August 8th.

2.  Tupperware Fundraising!

View the available products via the Tupperware Fundraiser Catalog online - some are unique items not available through the regular catalog! 

Then just email me [tiffany (at) tiffanyblitz (dot) com] with the item numbers, quantities, shipping address, and payment information.  Or you can send a written order (there’s an order form in the catalog that you can print out) and a check or other payment info.

If you’d really like to see the catalog in person, just email me your address and we’ll send one out.  Of course we’d also be deeply grateful if you’d ask around your office, church, or friends and family, too…  :)

  • Your payment is to Tupperware, so it is not tax deductible
  • You receive the terrific Tupperware products, complete with Lifetime Warranty, shipped right to your door
  • Nick receives credit for approximately 50% of your purchase
  • I will send a small “Thank You” gift for each Tuppeware order of $20 or more
  • All Tupperware orders will be entered in a drawing for a special Gift Pack of Tupperware from me!

This program is set to end on Friday, August 15th.

Anything you can do to help is appreciated…
