Dear Choir Parent:

        &= nbsp;   Plans are underway for a Concert Choir Trip to New York City in March of 2010! The trip has been approved by the = school board and you will find included proposed itinerary and inclusions.

        &= nbsp;

        &= nbsp;   The dates for the trip are March 25-27, 2010.

The total cost of the trip including transportat= ion, lodging and most meals is $700.00. Our fundraising campaign will begin with a scholarship letter which = will be sent to businesses and individuals in the City of Radford. Scholarships will be provided for those students who fundraise, demonstrate need and are unable to raise the total cost. Please keep in mind that your child will fundraise and that in all likelihood, you will = not be paying the full payment each month.   Each individual student earns money for his or her account to be applied to each month’s payment.

        &= nbsp;

        &= nbsp;   Scholarship money must be reserved for those families that can truly not afford to make payments. No student will be denied participation due to inability to pay.&nbs= p; Choral Patrons will make every opportunity possible to raise needed funds. However, they will not= be able to pay for students unable or unwilling to fundraise.

        &= nbsp;

        &= nbsp;   Our first (and most lucrative) studen= t fundraiser will kickoff in September with the Virginia Diner Peanut Sales.

        &= nbsp;

        &= nbsp;   Because of the cost involved in this type of trip, we have put together a payment schedule that must be strictly followed.&n= bsp; In order to participate in this trip, each student and parent will n= eed to sign an intent form so that= an exact number of participants can be determined. This form is included in this pack= age and must be signed and returned with a deposit (by those wishing to participate) of $100.00 by September 11. All checks are to be made out to RHS Choral Patrons. It will be assumed that anyone who= does not return a form by September 11 will not be going on the trip.

        &= nbsp;

        &= nbsp;   If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Lois Castonguay     &nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;            =             =
