Schmidts Fundraiser
Schmidt's German Restaurant; a Columbus institution, has presented an opportunity for our students and their family members to work their fundraising tents throughout the Columbus area for community festivals.  Any worker (student or family member) receives an hourly rate for their time.  That rate is applied directly to their WIMBA account; in turn, towards band camp.
 
Our final schedule is not set yet; but we have requested the following events:  Columbus Arts Festival (June 3-5), Creekside Jazz & Blues Festival-Gahanna (June 17-19), Red-White-Boom (July 1), Dublin Car Show (July 8-9), Good Guys Car Show (July 9-10), Jazz & Ribs Festival (July 22-24), and Ohio State Fair (July 27 - Aug 6).  

Please email me directly if you or anyone in your family is interested in working these events; all events/shifts are first come, first serve.


As always, if you have any questions, let me know.

GO RAMS!!!

Mr. Herrmann
