Grasso Program Ad Sales Update
Here is a reminder message from Carrie Grummons, who is our Grasso Program Lead:
Hi all! Fantastic job selling those ads this year! The contracts are rolling in and it's super exciting to see how supportive our community is (and how invested you guys are in this)!
Just a quick reminder. If you solicit a business PLEASE FILL OUT THE SPREADSHEET INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE DONE THIS! There have been a few businesses that are getting hit a couple of times by different members. This will save you time of hitting up someone who has already said yes to another student (or getting an earful by someone who has already said no) and will keep our business owners from getting annoyed.
Also, please keep turning in the graphics, contracts and checks to the blue box in the band room so we can keep things moving smoothly.
Thanks again!
Carrie Grummons
