Lake County Fair Volunteers Needed
Music Mentors is teaming up with the Lake County Fair for a fantastic fundraising opportunity. But, we need everyone’s help to make this happen. We will be the parking attendants during Fair, July 26-31. This is a huge opportunity for all the band programs in Mentor Schools.
A SignUp Genius has been created. See links below and on website. We need lots of help to pull this off! Please sign up for multiple slots if you are available. There are 2 links, one is for adults and one is for students. Students must be in High School to work the Fair. Don’t worry students, all the shifts for you are not during marching band practices.
Any questions please contact:
Meredith Everett at chaperones@musicmentors.org
Kary Vogel at Secretary@musicmentors.org

HUGE Thank You to Adventure Subaru
At the beginning of the school year , we were approached by Adventure Subaru on Mentor Avenue and they chose Music Mentors as organization to support for the year for their "Share the Love" Event! If you were lucky enough to view the commercials online that our fearless directors appeared in, you may have seen this campaign! Around mid April, Mr. Poremba received an amazing email stating that Adventure Subaru was awarding Music Mentors a check for over $6300 from this campaign! To say we are grateful and appreciative is just not enough! So if you find yourself out and about shopping for a vehicle, you may want to visit Adventure Subaru as they definitely have our kids on their minds! A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ADVENTURE SUBARU!

Volunteers needed for the Lake County Fair!
We are need of both student and adult volunteers for parking assistance for the Lake County fair from July 26-31st! This is a HUGE endeavor but with 180-200 band students we should be able to fill these volunteer slots quickly! If everyone took one shift, we can staff this completely to assist in our fundraising efforts and can earn thousands of dollars in the short span of a week! Please consider helping us out! The sign up links are below! Questions can be directed to Meredith Everett at chaperones@Musicmentors.org
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!!
