Final Spain Tour Invoices

Dear Spain Travelers,

GrandTours is in the process of preparing final invoices for the Spain tour. Part of this process is to apply fundraising credits for each student as a line item to each invoice. Because holiday fundraisers have just concluded, the reconciliation of fundraising profits and communication of these to GrandTours by SHHS will take time. Once a list of fundraising profits are received by GrandTours from SHHS, the amounts will be credited to your final tour invoice.

In order to avoid confusion, we ask that you DO NOT make your final payment to GrandTours until you receive a final invoice by e-mail. We expect this process to be completed sometime next week. Any questions about the amount of fundraising credit on the final invoice should be directed to SHHS and not GrandTours. The final payment for the tour is due to be postmarked by January 31, 2016. GrandTours understands that these payments may arrive after the due date.

Fruit Delivery Date and Malley's Reminder

Indian River Groves has contacted us to let us know that our tentative delivery date is Monday, December 7, after school at the Middle School. That date will be confirmed and we will have more definite times in the coming days. Any student who sold fruit is expected to either be there personally to unload the truck, or send a representative to help with the unloading and pick up process.

Orders for the Malley’s candy fundraiser are due by December 14!  To participate go to http://www.shakerbands.org/home/bandtripfundraiser.html and follow the prompts to register. No orders will be accepted after December 14.

For questions about the candy fundraiser contact Jen Proe at jgproe@gmail.com. For questions about the fruit fundraiser contact Susan Rotatori at rrsrfam@aol.com or Laurie Silver at lsilver3354@wowway.com.

Spain Tour Roommate Sign-up

Roommate sign-up for the Spain Tour will take place after school on Monday and Tuesday, 11/9 & 10, the Band Room. All roommates must be present to register and be current on their payments, having $1,100 in their Grand Tours account.

Uniform Turn-In and Fruit Sale Ending

Uniform collection for all non-travelling band members will be Tuesday, Nov. 10 from 7:30 to 8:40 in the Multi-Purpose room. Students will need to turn in all parts of the uniform except for t-shirts, polos, gloves and berets. This collection is only for students who are NOT travelling to Spain, collection for those who are travelling will take place in early April. Parents who would like to volunteer to help can contact Molly Markey at momarkey@wowway.com or Judy Malone at katzmalone@aol.com.

Also, a quick reminder: the Shaker Hts. Band Fruit Sale ends this Tuesday, Nov. 10th.  This year's fresh-from-the-grove Florida oranges and grapefruit are especially sweet and juicy and are healthy snacks. The fruit is picked, boxed and trucked directly to us. No fruit is picked and stored in a warehouse to be delivered to the grocery store.

 

All ordering is completed online. Go to www.shakerbands.org and locate "Fundraiser Information" in the right-hand column and follow the prompts. You will also find answers to frequently-asked-questions there. 

If your student has never ordered, an account  number needs to be set up.  Just e-mail the student's name, parent(s) name and e-mail address, and I will e-mail the account number back once it gets set-up in the system. 

You will be e-mailed with the delivery date which will be around the first two weeks in December.  The fruit delivery and pick-up is at the Shaker Middle School. 

All profits from the band student's individual sales go directly to their personal trip fund account, which is set up and managed by the District.  This money is applied when the student goes on the International Trip.  Profit margins on fruit sales range from 30 - 43% depending on the items sold.  If the student doesn't go on the trip, the fund may be transferred to a younger sibling in band or transferred to the General Band Trip Fund.

Note:  Malley's Candy Sale continues until December 14th.

Happy Selling,

Susan Rotatori
