MATTRESS SALE FLYERS COMING HOME

Today and tomorrow students will get their posters and flyers for the mattress sale on Saturday, May 12. This could potentially be the second biggest fundraiser we have and help us pay for new hats and also earn lots of money for your band account.

What to do:

  • Put the sign in your yard. (8 students will get $25 just for emailing a picture of the sign to cfsvirginia@gmail.com)
  • Hang the two posters. Take them to work, put them in a local starbucks, take them to your church or community bulletin board.
  • Hand out the flyers. Give them out at your church or community group, give them to family or neighbors, just hand them out with your name on it.

EACH MATTRESS SOLD FROM YOUR FLYER OR POSTER EARNS $25 for your account!!! Don’t wait. Get your advertising done now and get a jump start on next year’s band dues.

Parade Cancellation

While the parade itself will still take place, Fairfax County has a very strict policy when there may be ANY thunder or lightning involved so Edison will be unable to participate based on the current forecast. Thank you to all for your preparations and for a great festival/state assessment. We will look forward to Orlando and the upcoming parade there!
