News and Notes: Cabaret
Westwood Choir parents and friends,
The annual Westwood Cabaret show is coming soon, Thursday, February 8, 2018 at the RRISD Performing Arts Center at 7pm.
For our new parents, this is a wonderful evening for our students as they perform solos, duets, group numbers, and choir pieces for family and friends to enjoy.
This year I am organizing the Cabaret Fundraisers. We will be selling flower bouquets ($10 & $20) and candy bouquets ($10 & $15) before the show and during intermission.
We will also raffle several large themed baskets and individual items.
This is our big fundraiser for the year. Please consider donating generously to the choir program at Westwood.
We are asking for donations of new items in any price range. This is a great way to donate any new items that you may have around the house that you’ve never used…(think re-gifting!). We are going to group the items together and create themed gift baskets. Here are some ideas:
— Team merchandise (Westwood, UT, A&M, Cowboys, Rangers, etc.)
— Movie night (DVDs, movie snacks, popcorn, candy)
— Austin-themed
— Game night (board games, snacks)
— Chocolate lovers (any kind of chocolate)
— Sweet tooth (candies, cookies)
— Coffee/tea time (any kind of coffee or tea, coffee mugs, biscotti, cookies)
— Foodie theme (cookbooks, kitchen gadgets)
— Spa basket (soaps, bath salts, candles, bubble bath, lotions)
— Books, gift items, home decor, gift cards
Also, if you or someone you know owns a business and would like to donate gift certificates or gift cards, that would be very much appreciated.
We also need packaging materials…baskets, large plates or platters, cello wrap, bows, ribbon, etc. Even in gently used condition would be great.
Please put your donation into a bag or envelope and label the outside with your name, so we can acknowledge your donation. Please drop off donations anytime to the choir room, or at my house (10523 Grand Oak Circle, 78750).
How you can help:
1. Donate items
2. Help assemble the themed gift baskets the week before Cabaret; this should be one evening for a couple of hours
3. On the night of Cabaret, help with the Raffle before the show, during intermission, and afterwards while we hand out the Raffled items. You will not miss any of the performance.
4. Help arrange flowers and/or candy bouquets before Cabaret.
