Dear MSW,

Dear MSW, We look forward to rehearsing again, but please remember if you are experiencing cold symptoms, you should stay home. If you test positive for COVID, you should isolate for 10 days from either the onset of symptoms our your positive test. Here is a copy of our COVID protocols.  Our next board meeting is Wednesday, December 7, at 6:30 PM. Thanks! Jill Westermeyer manager@mswinds.org MSW Needs Your Help! Our silent auction is our major fundraiser for the year. Its success depends on members like you and me contributing goods, food, gift cards, and other items. Tonight is our first collection day. If you do not bring an item tonight, please make sure you bring a donation item with you to rehearsal next week. We will be collecting items in the band’s locker room. We also ask that you please bring 1 dozen cookies to the concert to share with our audience.

Give away time at your cabin or vacation home as an auction item. Ask your crafty friends to contribute their products to the auction or donate your own creations.  Make a purchase and donate it to the auction.  Volunteer to help with auction prep!   Have questions? We’ve got answers. Email us at the contact info below if you have a question about the silent auction or to volunteer with auction prep. Thanks everyone!
