We need volunteers to provide food for sale at the Craft Show. You can sign up here at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044aa4ac2ca0fc1-imafood.

This is just to provide the food to sell. By signing up to donate food you are not volunteering to sell the food. See the next section on student and adult volunteers for the craft show.

We’re excited to host our 24th annual fall craft show on Saturday, November 20 from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. at Easton Area High School (through the cafeteria doors).

• Over 120 crafters and vendors are registered this year
• Expect some good eats at the food court
• This public event is a big fundraiser for the IMA

In order to make this event a success, we need adult and student volunteers to help out. The volunteer positions are setup in 2 hour blocks - you do not need to volunteer for the whole day - any time is helpful.

We have the following positions available for adult volunteers:

• For the early risers, we need people to: Sign-in vendors, set-up food, unload and carry crafts.
• Throughout the day, we need people to serve and sell food.
• For later risers, we need help carrying crafts back to vendors vehicles.

Please make sure to take your uniform out of the garment bag and air it out. If you did not take your jacket to the cleaners, now would be a great time! Check to make sure all wrinkles are steamed out of your jacket. Wash your sweat collar and white gloves too. Wipe up and clean your white band shoes. Many students need to use white shoe polish to tidy them up to get them back to bright white.

Thank you for your support in keeping your uniform looking sharp!

Did someone say orange? This is one of the biggest fundraisers we do as an organization, so we need everyone to participate to make this a HUGE success! We’ve added some exciting, new items this year- two “samplers” of outstanding fruit- perfect to bring as a gift to holiday parties!

They are MULTIPLE ways to drive sales. As always, students can sell directly to friends and family in-person, or customers can place their orders online through our dedicated website. Additionally, customers can opt for direct ship.

WEBSITE - will be live on October 11th and will accept orders until Wednesday, November 17th. https://freshfruitorder.org/EAHSmusic/

DIRECT SHIP AVAILABLE - For the second year, we are offering Direct Ship items on the website which will enable customers to have items sent directly to their door - perfect for out-of-town customers and gift giving! There are a few items that are only available for direct ship and some that are the same as our regular offerings. Direct ship items cost more than regular items b/c the UPS fee is included.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Lynn Franklin at (610) 207-4239 or at IMAfruitsale@gmail.com.
