The volunteer schedule is now listed on our wiki. You can check it out at http://exit52.pbworks.com/ Feel free to add your name or call me and I will add it for you. We still need people for Sunday and Monday and also need help repotting flowers. Remember, the money earned goes directly toward your dues for next year. It's easier than selling pizzas and it's 100% profit!
The last area that would help our sale is the donation of perennials. If you have a surplus of any kind of perrenial that you could donate please consider it. The more flowers and plants we have the better the sale will be. Hostas and any kind of day lillies are great and they love to be split. I don't recommned potting them up until jsut before the sale though. They will look better if they are freshly dug. I will post the address of the sale and the drop off spot with the next update.
The last note about fundraising is that we are in need of a fundraising coordinator for the upcoming season. Organizing the various fundraisers has gotten to be took much for the staff to do while keeping the guard going throughout the fall and winter seasons. Please consider if this is something you would like to take on and call me. We will also be taking parent volunteers soon to be the show host coordinator, the volunteer coordinator, a PR coordinator and many other exciting positions. If you have any interest in taking a leadership role within our parent group please let me know.

Memorial Day Flower Sale
The Winter Guard has been offered the opportunity to man the yearly perennial sale on Memorial Day weekend this year. All proceeds would go directly to the winter guard.
The sale will run Saturday - Monday of Memorial Day weekend. Hours would be approximately 8-5 on Saturday 5/23, 10-4 on Sunday5/24 and 9-2 on Monday 5/25 with all sales suspended during the parade.
I am going to try to fill shifts as follows:
*We can use more people but are looking for the numbers below as a minimim.*
4-5 People on Saturday 8am-12:30pm
4-5 People on Saturday 12:30pm-5pm
2-3 People on Sunday 10am-1pm
2-3 People on Sunday 1pm-4pm
2-3 People on Monday 9am-2pm
We would also need people to start helping to repot the donated plants as they come in and to tag them with colored coded price tags. A few people would need to be almost "on call" the week of the sale in case large amounts of plants get dropped off all at once and need to be repotted.
If you are interested please call me 292.4802 or email me exit-52@hotmail.com asap so I can sign you up.
A middle school parent is in charge of this event and she told me that last year the International Club made over $2000 over the course of the weekend. This would be an excellent way for kids and parents alike to pay next years dues now and also to help cushion the gerenal fund for next season.
Money will be applied to member dues according to the amount of time worked at the sale. Both guard members and parents can volunteer at the sale.
