Volunteers Needed for Uniform Committee

Stephanie Paul, Uniform Chair, is looking for volunteers to help with uniforms – NO sewing is required!! Volunteers are needed to come to the school early on game days to help hand out the uniforms to the kids and volunteers able to help after the games, helping to put the uniforms away. She already has an excellent system, but needs help to make it run smoothly. WHEN you sign up to be on this committee, you do NOT have to help before and after every game or even help every game. Stephanie will set up a schedule. You can tell her when you are able to come help. Please email her at: tspaul@bellsouth.net with your name, phone number and dates you can help. Thank you.

Volunteers Needed for Sewing Guard Flags - September 11

Diane Hauck needs volunteers with sewing experience and machines, as well as a few non sewers who can trace, pin and cut. Diane will meet with volunteers on Saturday, September 11, 2010, from 9am-2pm in the band room. There will be an instructional session followed by actual sewing, so volunteers need to bring sewing machines, scissors, and pins. A flag will be constructed at the session, and then volunteers will take home materials to construct flags at home. If you are able to help out, please contact Diane Hauck at: dmhauck@yahoo.com

Register To Volunteer!!!!

Please go to: http://www.getinvolvedineducation.com to register as a volunteer for this school year for West Broward HS. Once in the site, click the red button on the top right for online volunteer application. It takes less than 5 minutes! Once WB gets notification that you have been approved, you need to come into the front office to swipe your ID and become activated (you only need to do this once). You will receive an official lanyard badge id. to wear whenever you are volunteering. When volunteering during school hours, you need to swipe your badge in the front office; however, many band activities are after hours and that won't be necessary in those cases. We must have your clearance in order for you to volunteer, so please register today! Note: You must do this at the beginning of each school year.
