DrumBeat: Drummond LSC and PTO News & Views

With all this dreary weather, we sure are looking forward to seeing everyone on the tropical beaches of Uncle Fatty’s Rum Resort for Luau on May 7!

Representatives of our Ticket Sales Committee will be on campus tomorrow during Report Card Pick-up between 12 and 6pm to sell tickets to The Big Event: Drummond Luau 2009.  Bring your checkbook and you can be among the very first to buy tickets for the big event of the season!  Event tickets are only $50 if purchased in advance!

Our Raffle Committee also will be available to supply more raffle tickets to those of you who’ve already sold out your allotment (way to go!) and/or sell raffle tickets.  (Even if you can’t make it to the event, selling and/or buying raffle tickets is a great, easy way for you, your family and friends to get involved — you need not be present to win!)

Looking forward to sipping mojitos with you all on May 7!

Monica Lasky (on behalf of The Big Event Committee)

 P.S. Tickets also may be purchased on-line at www.drummondbigevent.org.

Aloha Drummond Families and Friends,

In order to make the Drummond Luau a success, we need your help setting up and breaking down the event.  Please consider giving an hour or two of your time (or more) the day of the event to help us set up, decorate, and clean up.  This is a great way to get involved without a long-term time commitment.
