Lip Sync Update
There has been an overwhelming turnout of students participating in Lip Sync this year. We have 60 acts and 187 kids!
Music needs to be uploaded to the DJs website. Parents should have received an email with a link to the DJ website from Sara Landis when songs were approved. Any questions, contact Karen Planinshek @ 2kplan@gmail.com.
The Committee is in the process of assigning volunteers and row parents. If your child's group has a large number of kids, multiple parent volunteers may be needed to help the act run smoothly. Anyone who would still like to volunteer to help can contact Gina Rothenberg at gmrothenberger@gmail.com
Boxes of cereal will be collected at the event to be donated to Keystone Opportunity Center.
Designer Bag Bingo Event FAQs
Is there a deadline for purchasing tickets?
- NO. There is no deadline. We will continue to sell tickets up to the time of the event or until we are sold out, whichever comes first.
Will you reserve a table for our group?
- YES. If you have a group of 8 people or more, we will reserve a table or tables for you. Contact Lisa Mallon (lisa@mallonhome.com) to register your group and let her know how many people you expect in your group.
If I volunteer for the event, do I need a ticket?
- DEPENDS. Anyone who will be playing Bingo needs to purchase a ticket to get a Bingo booklet. If you are not playing Bingo, you do not need to purchase a ticket. You may still join in on all the other fun and can purchase raffle tickets.
Will there be dabbers available?
- YES. We have 10 different colors and will be selling them for $1 each at the door.
Get your tickets through Eventbrite here. If you'd like to help out, please see our volunteer sign up.
