I MUST hear from EVERYONE. Thanks!

Remember to email me if you will not be coming or you will be leaving early. You may not know it, but I take roll every week!
There is also new information below about Abravanel Hall under "upcoming dates."
Gala Fundraiser: Friday, February 8th, 2008
I went to the Chamber of Commerce Fundraiser & Auction last Saturday. It was incredibly well organized, and I hope people had fun... But I think our dinner will be more fun than theirs!
Remember, you have two tickets each and you must treat them like money . Every ticket must be accounted for (or I'll get in trouble!). Final count needs to be in to the caterer one week ahead, so January 31st.
This means I must hear from you. Copy the following form, paste it into an email, fill it out, and send it back to me at LincolnYouthSymphony@gmail.com
Name:
LYS Instrument:
Phone:
Number of Tickets I've already turned in money for:
Number of Tickets I've already collected money for:

Total Number of Tickets (add the three above numbers):
I have a service, item, or idea for the Auction/Door Prizes:
I have attached the bulletin board information again in case you need it. When you print it, be sure your printer is set to "landscape."
Remember our menu is a Dutch oven dinner with a choice of pork spare ribs or barbeque chicken, Dutch oven potatoes, glazed carrots, salad, roll, and cobbler for dessert. It's going to be well worth it, and fun. So sell those tickets!
Ticket details:
- For the LYS musician who sells the most tickets, there will be a $20 gift check to the store of your choice.
- Please email me with how many tickets you've sold.
- We can sell up to 200 tickets for the 6:00 dinner, and we've only handed out about 140. If you have people and need more tickets, call or email me, and I will get tickets to you (mail or drop off).
- LYCO musicians are selling tickets too, and competing for their own $20 prize.
- Right now, I have only received money for 4 tickets... Argh! Now is the time to make this happen.
My mother-in-law sent a quilt. I'm bringing it to LYCO today to show it off!
We will need people to help set up, serve food, and clean up. Everyone is expected to participate in some way. Those who didn't sign up at the last rehearsal will be contacted by telephone with an assignment.
The entertainment is important as well. Here are some details:
- It will be "background" music, so people will not be expected to stop visiting while you perform.
- It does not necessarily need to be classical. However, any entertainment must be cleared with me.
- I will need the name(s) of performer(s), approximate length of time, and the title/style of what you are doing so we can create a pleasant program with a nice flow.
- If you have another talent you would like to share, we ask that it be music oriented and that you keep it clean... NOTHING even REMOTELY off-color.
- This is a great opportunity to perform for a more casual audience. This can be solo & ensemble music, or simply a practice performance opportunity.
February 9th, Regular Rehearsal

Our Last Rehearsal: January 26th, 2008
Big Announcement:
James announced the Board's decision to have only one conductor for LYS, and that Abravanel Hall will be his last concert with us. We realize that May would have probably been his last concert with us anyway, but we will still miss him very much. We wish you all the best, James, in your bright future! You will be a great teacher at the new High School in Salem, and you will make great strides as you continue your Masters Degree at BYU.
John also officially announced, for anyone who didn't know, that his wife Misa is expecting twins in June... or May! Congratulations.
We also signed up for jobs at the Gala Fundraiser. We expect everyone to contribute, so if you didn't sign up we will be contacting you.
