Newsletter 9/28/07
Orchestra News - 9/28/07
Contents:
1) Lots on the blog!!
2) PLEASE read your handbook
3) Anyone have an extra violin in the family?
4) SCO this Saturday - get those concert going review points now!!
5) Entertainment books available
1) Please check the blog often: www.titanorchestras.blogspot.com -
Ms.Silberman's posted info and links for all students.
2) Have you really read the handbook? Really? Oh yeah? Ok, what's the Bob
Marley quote at the end??? Please make sure that you're dutifully informed so
that our program runs as smoothly as possible.
3) If anyone has an old (first?) violin in the family that your student
isn't using, we have need to provide a few students with violins - even if it's
just a loan for a short while. Our classroom is short on violins
due to a repair and rehair issue (which will be hopefully resolved by
November). Please contact Ms. Silberman if you have an instrument that might be
happier practiced on than left in a closet.

Entertainment Books!!
Entertainment Books are Here!
Orchestra students can earn money for their personal accounts by selling entertainment books to friends and families. Contact neighbors, call Grandma and Grandpa, have Mom and Dad tell people at work that you have entertainment books.
The entertainment books are great this year! They have coupons for groceries, fast food, elegant dining, gas, attractions, paint and household supplies, movies, car rentals and more. I am impressed by how many local and usable coupons are in the book.
For each book you sell, $8 will be credited to your account. If enough books are sold, you may even make more!! In addition, for every 5 books sold, you will be given a free book after the
sale is over. You can either sell this book and keep the $20 or keep and use the coupons yourself. Other prizes are available. For every book you sell you get a chance at playing the "Get in the Groove game" to win over 1,000 prizes. Enter the internet drawing every day for another chance to win.
Here is what you need to know:
1. Books cost $20
2. There are two kinds of books, one with coupons for all of Oregon and another with coupons for Portland. The Portland book also has coupons for many attractions in Oregon.
3. Books will be checked out to Orchestra students during Orchestra class. Students are responsible to return money for these books or return the books.
4. All money and books must be returned to Linda Beardsley by October 30th.
5. Students may check out more books when they bring in the money from the first books sold.
6. If you have questions call or e-mail:
Linda Beardsley at Lindab4858@comcast.net or 503-399-6443.
Books will be available to students beginning Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this next week.
