$5000.00 Donation to Boosters

That's right!! State Senator Roger Bedford and State representative Mike Millican have collaboratively given a check for $5000.00 to the Haleyville Band Boosters for the purpose of purchasing a new Trailer.  Rickey Edwards was instrumental in contacting their offices and explaining our "problem" of growth and added that we needed a larger trailer to accommodate our growing numbers. Without a great deal of fanfare and paperwork Mr. Tolbert was presented a check on Monday, August 2, 2010.  The Trailer committee is currently looking for a 16 foot or larger trailer that will meet our future needs. Mr. Tolbert has expressed his belief that with the current interest and activity in the band program, Haleyville Bands should exceed 100 members in the next few years.

Here are the email addresses for their offices if you would like to drop them a "Thank You" note:
Senator Roger Bedford: senbedford@aol.com
Representative Mike Millican:   mike.millican@alhouse.gov

 
P.S.  Don't forget to mark Thursday, August 26 on your calendar as the day we get to see and hear our Band perform their show for the community at Bubba Scott stadium.  Parents will also be invited to "walk-through" the routines with your band member at 5:30 pm, refreshments and food provided.
