Don't pass up opportunities for your student to earn money to pay for band camp (August 6-10) or help pay for the New York trip next year. The balloonfest needs parking volunteers. Your student can park cars in the name of the Howell Band Booster Association, and we in turn will bank that money for your student's account. The balloonfest is June 22-24. According to the Howell Chamber, some organizations earn thousands of dollars doing this. Shifts are for 4 hours. Contact the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce at 546.3920 for more info. Volunteer Parking Forms can be downloaded at michiganchallenge.com For your form, you need to designate the Howell Band Booster Association, PO Box 2113, Howell, MI 48844, as your nonprofit organization.

We also need parent volunteers to staff our balloonfest concession trailer that weekend. Pam Glynn is the chairperson and will be setting up a schedule soon!

CruzNExpress is willing to let us hold a car wash at their location. This could be a great fundraiser for your student also. We are still waiting for a parent to step up and organize the car wash.
