Cut-a-Thon Fundraiser August 21
Hey Everybody
Tell your friends! Tell your coworkers! Tell your extended family! Tell your neighbors! Tell the clerk in the grocery store! Tell the Starbucks barista! Maybe even tell the person you meet walking your dog!
Tell them what?
Tell them about the CUT-A-THON at TNT Hair Design, 1839 So. Coast Highway in Oceanside, next Sunday, August 21st from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hair Designers will be there ready to work on their hair to help get ready for school or work or just because they want a new haircut. Tell them that a new "do" at the CUT-A-THON would also support the OHS Instrumental Music Program. There will be a minimum $10 donation. If they ask, the dog will still know and love them with a new haircut BUT they may just impress someone else with the new haircut and they'll look so good while consuming their favorite Starbucks drink!
See you there!

Book Fair Coming Soon!
Remember the Book Fair at Barnes and Noble, 2615 Vista Way in Oceanside next Wednesday, July 20th!
Real live authors, Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie will be at Barnes and Noble from 6-8 p.m. for a precomicon book signing! Nancy and Debbie coauthored the Wicked Series as well as each authoring several books on their own. Bring your copy of your favorite book--or better yet, purchase a new one to read--for Nancy and Debbie to sign. Won't that be cool! A brand new book signed by the author sitting on your bookshelf right out in plain view for everyone to see! Maybe you'll even want to leave it on the coffee table where it would be even more visible! And you will have supported the Oceanside Instrumental Music Program as well! And you won't even have to push your way through the comicon crowds! So amazing!
In addition, the Oceanside Instrumental Music Boosters and Oceanside Instrumental Music Students will be there during the day manning a craft table for kids visiting Barnes and Noble. The Boosters who manned the craft table at the last Book Fair had such a great time, you don't want to miss the opportunity to be part of the fun. Please let Maggie know what hour(s) of the day you'd like to make crafts with great little kids and talk to some future instrumental music parents.
And the best part--Barnes and Noble will donate a percentage from each purchase to the Oceanside Instrumental Music Program!--all day long!--from open to close!--9 a.m.-11p.m.!
What if you can't get there on July 20th? Don't lose hope--you can still support the Oceanside Instrumental Music Program--just make your purchases online! It's easy-you can do it! Here's the address: BN.COM/bookfairs from July 20th-July 25th.
Reading is good! Music is good! On July 20, (next Wednesday), you can support both by coming to the Book Fair at Barnes and Noble, 2615 Vista Way in Oceanside.
