Title: Save BIG money AND help support the Wheeling Instrumental League
Post by: Jon Brakel on August 21, 2008, 02:27:39 PM
Maddisen is selling 2009 Entertainment Books to raise money for the Wheeling Instrumental League which supports the music programs at Wheeling High School. Go to the Entertainment Book website if you want to know more about the books: http://chicago-north.entertainment.com/discount/browse.shtml?overrideLocation=N

If you go out to eat even just once or twice during the year you can make back the money in savings. The books are $20 each. If you want one (or more) just PM or e-mail me. I can bring them to Rockford or your local league or where ever. Just let me know. Becky and I are buying 4 of them to give away as CTPs at Rockford. If you buy one from us and then hit the CTP we'll refund your money on the one that you paid for.

Schools don't get funding for the arts like they used to. If you like to save money then this is a good way to save money and help support a great music program!!!

Just go to www.entertainment.com to see all of the cities in the United States that you can get books for. They are great to use on vacations. Becky, Maddisen and I bought one for the 2004 Worlds in DesMoines and saved a bunch of money on food. Then we gave the rest of the book to Becky Zalek, Worlds TD, to use the rest of the year.

Do they have one for Oakland County, Michigan?  I'll go look and see.  If they are organized by city, i'll recognize the relevant cities. 

They have a "Detroit" one that is mostly quite a bit further south than where we live, work and play.
