2nd Annual Mattress Sale at KML

1/19/2023

0 Comments

 
Hello LVW Preview Camp Parents, LVW Friends, Alumni, and Relatives!

My name is Nate Amundson and I'm reaching out to you as the contact person for the 2nd Annual Lutheran Vanguard of Wisconsin Mattress Fundraiser. As an LVW board member, a band director at one of our member schools, an LVW parent, and an alum of the group from many, many moons ago, I'm excited to help out in this way!

We had a great camp a couple of weeks ago and are very much looking forward to this summer! As you may have heard, we will be purchasing newly designed uniforms this summer. Last year's mattress sale in Appleton was a great success and we've moved the sale to another location this year to help get the word out to more people. Money raised at this sale will help with the purchase of the new uniforms and "put a little money in the bank" to help fund future trips to the National Cherry Festival parades in Traverse City, MI...a favorite Vanguard destination from years past and a truly great experience for the band. There's information about the fundraiser on the LVW website, and you'll be receiving more info from us soon.

There are 2 items I want to make you aware of now, as the dates are fast-approaching.

1. The date of the actual event is Saturday, February 11 from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm. The company we've contracted with will have more than 20 name brand mattress sets on display in the KML gymnasium for up to 50% off retail! A portion of every sale goes to LVW, and for every mattress sold that has been referred by an LVW marching member, a cash bonus will be paid to that member to help reduce their enrollment fee for the season! The sale is open to anyone, so please tell friends and family that they are welcome, and can help support the band while getting that brand new mattress they've been thinking about! We'll need some help on the day of the event, and there's a link to the volunteer signup page on the LVW website.

2. As important as the actual event is to our success, there's another equally important date that we want to make you aware of. It's a "mini fundraiser" for the band that has been arranged by the mattress fundraising company, and will be on January 26 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm in the KML auditorium. All parents are strongly urged to attend, as the ultimate success of the mattress fundraiser depends on a good showing at this informational meeting. For every parent in attendance that night, the mattress fundraising company will donate $5 to LVW (so please...husbands and wives are both encouraged to attend!). We know that this might be an inconvenience for those of you at a distance, so there will be an option to attend the meeting via a livestream and the company will donate the same $5 per person to anyone viewing remotely! This gives us the possibility of earning hundreds of dollars for LVW just for attending a brief meeting!

Can't attend the meeting?  Click here for a link to the KML YouTube Channel!

We'll have more information out to you soon about all of this! So for now, please mark January 26 at 6:30 pm and February 11 at 10:00 am on your calendars...and tell everybody you know that they can help support an amazing marching band, all while getting that new mattress they want!

On behalf of the kids...thank you so much for your support! We couldn't do it without you!
