Hello everyone!

Another thing that we are participating in. here's what it is....

Tri - M Petition and Change Drive Contest
MENC's goal is to deliver one million signatures to the Department of Education on June 18, 2009
Petitions for what? well the MENC with Tri - M wants to call on the U.S. Department of Education and all American Leaders to:
-Mandate that music and the other arts be part of every child's core curriculum;
-Ensure music and the other arts are included as a part of a balanced education addressing the whole child, to prepare them for the creative thinking necessary for success in the work force of the future;
-Ensure qualified music teachers and sequential curricula be recognized as the basis for providing all students with substantive education in music and the other arts;
-Ensure programs in music and the other arts provide rigorous instruction, monitor progress and performance through meaningful assessment, and take place within a structure of accountability to school officials, parents, and the community.

Everything is due to John Chang, me or Ms. Maloney by April 28, 2009 (Latest April 29, 2009)
It's due to the MENC by April 30.

When you see me around, ask me for the petition form

Did I mention it was a contest? well the Chapter with the most signitures get one Tri - M banner and Tri - M t - shirts for each and every member of the chapter. 2nd place gets a Tri - M banner
*even though we already have a banner, who cares, it's free. lol

They will be performing to help us raise money for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Executive is sponsoring us by helping us pay for some costs ( security, custodial, etc...)
Possible dates are April 25 or May 2 6pm - [around] 9pm
Ticket costs will range from $7 - $10 ($15 at the door) - not sure if I should do the ASB card thing. Possibly sell VIP tickets?
note - NOT ALL TRI - M MEMBERS WILL HAVE ALL VIP ACCESS, ONLY PEOPLE WHO DO AS OF NOW IS: PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, SECRETARY, and TREASURER. When the date nears, there will be a "VIP" list of as to who can go backstage. <-- if you bug me then you wont be on the list. Must be an active member as well.
When David Choi and Kina Grannis are here, please DO NOT ACT LIKE IDIOTS! Don't bug them about autographs or ask them to teach you something. If you do, your membership will be at risk. Don't announce it to people, because I don't want to advertise till i get everything organized. But lets try to sell over 600 tickets!!
