In an effort to reduce the cost of the spring trip to Williamsburg and Washington DC, we are offering a Delta Sonic Car wash or oil change fundraiser. It is strictly voluntary and funds raised will be applied directly to the cost of your child's trip.
Here is how it works:
Meredith Rossborough has tickets for Super kisses and Oil changes valid at any Delta Sonic location. You sign out any amount you wish, and give them as gifts or sell them to others. At the end of the fundraiser, you turn in your money collected and any tickets which you did not sell. There is no risk to you or to the chorus.
We have super kiss coupons which include a free rainex and clear coat treatment for which the chorus pays $8 and which you sell for $12. For each ticket sold, your child has $4 deducted from the cost of his trip.
We also have Oil change certificates for $19. These also each earn $4 off of your child's trip payment.
In addition, we can order certificates for a deluxe wash with clearcoat for $10, or a super kiss supreme with tires for $17.
Gift boxes for certificates are available free of charge.
I will be at the Messiah, at the Bethany Presbyterian performance, and at Cloverwod. You may also e-mail me at mossbor@rochester.rr.com If you want to order tickets in advance and I will have them ready for you at one of the performance venues. Also feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions about the program.

I am so proud of all of the chorus members this year. They are doing an exemplary job and working very hard to keep up with all of their music. I know how challenging it can be. It speaks volumes about the kids and you their parents.
See you all at 2pm
