Fundraisers:

  • See’s Chocolate: - There is still chocolate bars available. If you would like some, please email the band 
  • Sponsorship ideas: Laura Reynolds is interested in speaking with companies about sponsoring the band. Opportunities the band is not taking advantage of and would benefit the band. 
  • Kracklin’ Kamut: Passed out samples at 2 football games. People want this product. Kids need to be more proactive in getting the product out to people. Setup a booth at the Trinkets and Treasurers. If kids man the booth they will get the profits. Someone will be here at 5:15 on Mondays to hand out the product. 
  • 12th Sign – Light up “12”. Comes with an adapter you can use in your car or your home. Can also hang on your Christmas Tree. Every part of the “12” has been manufactured in Whatcom or Skagit county. We purchase for $20, sell them for $30.
