Cheese and Sausage Money Due |

The following four students owe Cheese and Sausage money. This money must be turned in at the LBA Parent Meeting on Monday evening. We need to complete this fundraiser and provide payment to the vendor. Makayla Barker If you are unable to return the money on Monday evening, please contact Liz Booth at liz@mysland.com or 859-559-2650. |
Lafayette “Flags in the Stands” |
|
We are missing several of the Lafayette “Flags in the Stands.” If you have a flag from State Finals or other competitions, please bring them to the LBA Parent Meeting on Monday evening. The flags are the property of the LBA and we use them to provide encouragement and excitement at every competition. The flags should be returned to Carole Howell. Thank you – and thanks for the great demonstration of support at the KMEA finals! |
M2 Payments |
|
We still have ONE Lafayette Band Family who owes payment for their student’s M2 lessons. It is imperative that these payments are turned in so that we may provide payment to our very talented and dedicated instructors. If payment is not provided, these students will not be able to participate in the M2 program in the future. |

Fundraising Notes |
|
Kroger Amazon Smile Bingo Volunteers Our profit each night is from pull tab sales. Our crowds are ready to buy – and we need volunteers to sell! More sellers make it easier on everyone! Every family is asked to volunteer for 12 nights at Bingo per year. Please respond to Casie’s email messages and sign-up on Tuesday or Thursday (6:00pm – 8:00pm or 8:00pm – 10:00pm) and come to the Bingo Hall in Keithshire Shopping Center. You will meet great parents and help support the band! |
Family Payment Agreements |
|
PLEASE NOTE: Family payments form the basis of the annual budget and our instructors and staff rely on us for their earned pay. However, we are unable to provide payment because many families have not completed the agreement. Family payments for 2016-2017 are $1,100 and were due in August – or an additional late payment of $150 for the “deferred payment schedule” was added per the payment agreement. All payments should be complete by November 15, 2016. For those who have not paid, or are behind in their payments, please be responsible – others are relying on you. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Smith at chuck.smith@fayette.kyschools.us or 859-396-3311 for a confidential payment arrangement. |
Charms Database |
|
The Lafayette Band uses Charms, a web-based organizational software system to track student contact information, financial statements, email communication, and more. To log into Charms, go to www.charmsoffice.com. Click “Enter” on the top menu and click “Parents/Students/Members” on the dropdown list. Login using the school code “lhsband” and enter your student ID/password. If you need your student ID, please contact Liz Booth at lafayettebandaccounts@gmail.com. The student ID is assigned by Charms and is a combination of letters and numbers. If your student has an outstanding balance, you will receive a monthly financial statement. The monthly payments will be billed individually in the Fixed Payment ledger. Amounts received that are less than the billed fixed payment amount will be temporarily stored in the Miscellaneous ledger. When the amount in the Miscellaneous ledger is sufficient to pay a monthly payments, we can transfer the amount to the appropriate fixed payment. Band payments may be paid by cash, check, credit card or money order. Checks and money orders should be made payable to “LBA” (please note the student’s name) and mail to: Lafayette Band Association |
