Pies & Poinsettias!

 Hello again Band Parents!


It's time for our next fundraiser to start!  This time we have pies and poinsettias.

Pies are from Madeline's on Liberty in Allentown. Always delicious, and a big hit every year! And they arrive just in time for Thanksgiving!

Poinsettias will be sold as vouchers, redeemable at Lehigh Valley Home and Garden.  There are 4 different sizes to choose from.

Please find the order forms for both fundraisers in your email. I organized it so that they will both be due on the same day, and then delivery will be on the same day. They are both after band season is over, so I did it this way to make it a bit easier.

*Due Thursday 11/9 (cash or check made payable to WMPA)
*Pickup Tuesday 11/21

** Pickup will not be at the school. Once the logistics of the pie delivery is figured out, I will let everyone know where it will be!

If you have any questions, please reach out - 610-653-6406

Thanks,
Tiffany
