A Call to Volunteers

I was pleasantly surprised at how much FUN it was to drive around 3 freshman girls during the Caroling Canvass this past Saturday.  Not only did we spread some Holiday Cheer (in 3 part harmony), the girls made around $200 for the UA Vocal Music Boosters!  I connected with some of my daughters friends (no small feat, mind you), helped support a very worthwhile program & got a discount on Starbucks by caroling at the pick up window (they were on a roll...).

My point to all of this is volunteering, while it may seem to take away valuable time from other much needed activities during this very busy time of the year, is, wait for it...WORTH IT!  So, I encourage you, as freshman parents to volunteer.  Volunteer your expertise, your positive attitude, your "skills", YOURSELF...you may be surprised at who comes out feeling the winner.

UA Vocal Music has many opportunities for you to volunteer.  "In the Heights" will be here before you know it!  They need parents to help before, during and after the production with activities like set construction (& tear down), performance night ticket sales, concessions & ushers, make-up/hair, hospitality...and these are just a few of the jobs.  Or attend a UA Vocal Music Booster meeting (check the website for day & time) and see if an opportunity "presents" itself to you...that's what happened to me!
