Greetings all,

Things can definitely get messy if you are not staying informed and reading our posts and emails each week, so please take a moment, as we begin a new week, and read about these important items.

• Trick or Treat Village – Our Trick or Treat Village was a huge success, so thank you to everyone who participated in any way. There were tons of photos taken that evening in case you missed it or even if you were there and want to relive the fun. You can see some by visiting our Facebook photo albums and by visiting Mitch Ragsdale’s album here: http://on.fb.me/1wrzQHc   and finally there are still more on our shared photos page here: https://chstrojanband.com/photos/   Thank you to Mitch Ragsdale and Rita Gentry for sharing these wonderful images! Your time and talent is very appreciated.
• Disney Trip – All Disney trip balances are due TODAY! After today, November 3rd, those with remaining balances will forfeit their reservation and all previous payments. There will be no refunds offered after today, November 3rd. Until midnight tonight, November 3rd, you are eligible for a refund of all payments, less the $100 deposit and any online payment fees. These policies have been in place since the trip was announced and are necessary to meet our obligations and secure the proper number of rooms and transportation.

These spirit nights have been growing each month and are providing  great benefit to our program, so please make plans to join us at Moe’s!
• Spirit Items – For those that ordered spirit items, they are starting to arrive! We were able to hand out some items Friday night to those that were at the Trick or Treat Village. We will also have some items with us tonight (11/3/14) at the Disney Trip Payment turn-in night in the Band Room from 5-7pm if you would like to stop by and pick up what is available.
