CAMPO MUSIC BOOSTERS need new volunteers for 2012-2013

As always, a number of our board members, who are parents of seniors, will be leaving at the end of this school year. To keep Music Boosters as strong as ever, we need parents who would like to get involved in Campo Music 2012-2013 for the positions listed below.

Music Boosters play an integral role in enriching our children’s music education. Being a Board member is also a fun way to get and stay involved in your child’s school and to connect with other parents. We hope you will consider joining the Music Boosters’ team to help keep these important traditions going. All the jobs are well established and none of them are a big time commitment.

Please contact sushiq@aol.com 925-377-7373 or Chitra Suri at chitrasuri@hotmail.com 925-310-4252 if you are interested or need more information. Here are the open positions in detail:

VICE PRESIDENT – The Vice President’s job is a transitional one – he or she assists the president – attends our board meeting (we have only one per year), helps man the table at Cougar Days, eighth grade parent meeting, and assists with the newsletter (3 times per year). Est. time commitment: 4-5 hours in late summer, maybe an hour a month the rest of the year. For this position, we would like to appeal in particular to freshmen/sophomore music parents.

WELCOME BACK BBQ – Only need to provide a venue (a home with a nice backyard and barbecue) and help chaperone the August welcome back party. The student council takes care of all the food and rsvps. Time commitment: 3 hours on party day.

POPS POTLUCK – Organize our kick-off event in early October. Send out invitations, and organize the event, with help from a team of volunteers. Time commitment: 3-4 hours of planning and shopping; working from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on that day.

HOSPITALITY – 2 parents needed (preferably a Band parent and an Orchestra parent). Organize the post-concert receptions for five Campolindo music performances. The job includes recruiting bakers and helpers, setting up the cafeteria, and acting as hosts after the concerts.

Thanks for your support!
