DVD Release Party!!!!!

     The wait is almost over!  The Release Party for the 2008 Lighthouse Brigade DVD is right around the corner!  Put Friday, October 24th on your calendars and be ready for an awesome reunion and viewing of the DVD!  I am working with Paul Ruffolo from Southport Digital again and this is, without a doubt, the snazziest project we have ever put out!  I think you will all treasure this terrific keepsake and record of our amazing 2008 season!  Here is the info on the Release Party:

Friday, October 24th

The Charcoal Grill (8300 Washington Ave.  Racine, WI)

6:00pm - 7:30pm - Social for all Brigade members, family, staff, alumni and fans.  Ryan Bloom, a former marching member and now manager at The Charcoal Grill is working with me to provide a great place for our reunion.  There will be an outstanding array of food for the social - and the price per person is $15.00.  Coffee and soda are included in this cost and anything from the bar is on your own.

7:30pm - 9:00pm - First public viewing of the 2008 DVD.  If you only wish to come for the DVD viewing - you will need to be at here by 7:30.  Food will not be available at this time - but you may still purchase beverages from the bar.  After the night is done - you will be able to purchase your very own copy of the DVD for $35.00 each (please make all checks out to: Racine Band Boosters).

If you wish to come to the social - please contact me at: rex_rukavina@lighthousebrigade.org

New Executive Board

     In November the Racine Band Boosters will be starting a new era with a totally "new" executive board of directors.  I say "new" because all of these parents have already been involved for the last few years!  Just elected at the band booster meeting last night: Jenny Miller - President; Bob and Cheri Harms - Co-Vice Presidents; Michael Ziolecki - Treasurer; Cathy Behling - Secretary; and Faith Christian - Past President.  Congrats to all of our new executive board members.  I look forward to working with all of you on our continuing mission of keeping the Lighthouse Brigade bands moving forward.

     I would like to give out a HUGE thank you to our departing executive board members.  They have been in these positions for many years, now and it has been an honor and pleasure to work with all of them: Faith Christian - President; Cheryl Thomas - Vice President; Diane Sluga - Treasurer; Karen Ludwig - Secretary; and Mark Buhler - Past President.  They will still be around to help out and I am glad they are more than willing to lend a hand with the new executive board members.  It humbles me each year as I see the amount of hours, dedication, commitment and love for this organization our parents give time and time again.  Our parents may not be wearing the uniform our marching members perform in - but they are every bit as important to what you see on the field of competition each season!
