The Southington Marching Band program benefits from hosting a Cogan Computer Fair in several ways:

bulletWe earn $1,000 per computer fair for the marching band program
bulletWe earn extra money from food/concession sales during the fair for the marching band program, typically between $200-$300
bulletWe are able to provide a service to the community by offering a location for people to purchase computer merchandise at discount prices

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

The school system requires Band Backer volunteers to be present during the hours of operation.  This offers us the opportunity to sell food/concession items (candy, coffee, soda, water, and other food items) during the fair to earn extra money for the marching band program.

The time requirement for each computer fair is as follows:

bulletPre-event (1-2 hours during the week of the computer fair to purchase any additional supplies ... this is usually handled by the coordinator)
bulletSetup time (1-2 hours prior to the fair start time, usually handled by the coordinator and/or volunteers)
bulletFood/concession sales (the fair operates for 6 hours - several volunteers can be used to work two-hour or three-hour shifts).  The concession can be run by two people (three if hot foods are sold.) Student band members are encouraged the volunteer!
bulletCleanup time (30 minutes after the fair ends, usually handled by the coordinator and volunteers)
bulletStudents who work at the concession will earn 5 points per hour.

If you can volunteer your time for the next fair, or for any of the upcoming fairs (dates to be announced), please contact your hosts for this event:  Phil Mazzatti, ((H) 860-276-8228; mazzophi@cox.net).
