Section leaders – remember that we will be placing door hangers on the houses along the route this Saturday, September 3rd to advertise the upcoming March-a-thon event. The more advertising we can do, the more money we can raise on September 24th! We will meet in the band hall @ 9:00 am and should be done by 10:30 am at the latest.<\/p>\n
Thank you,<\/p>\n
