Tax-Deductible End-of-Year Donations |
|
Dear Lafayette Band Family, The gift giving season has arrived and the Lafayette Band Association invites you to consider a tax deductible, end-of-year donation to the Lafayette High School “Pride of the Bluegrass” Band Program. Since 1990, the “Pride of the Bluegrass” has won the Kentucky Music Educators Association State Championship an incredible 18 times and earned the title of Grand Champion in more than 60 state, regional, and national competitions. Lafayette has performed and competed on a national level in events such as the prestigious MidWest Clinic, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Tournament of Roses Parade, and Bands of American Competitions. The ability to perform and remain competitive at this level requires human resources and funds to pay for travel, uniforms, food, instruments, scholarships, props, consultants, and more. Unfortunately, fundraising efforts and band payments have been unable to meet the financial needs of the program. As a member of the Lafayette Band Association, you can attend monthly meetings to review the budget and learn about program activities and related income and expenses. Please consider making a donation to LBA to ensure our students continue to have the opportunity to perform at school events, community concerts, and parades, compete in state, regional, and national band competitions, and experience life-changing events. Donations can be made here. You may also mail a donation to this address: Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We sincerely appreciate your consideration and support. Happy Holidays, The Lafayette Band Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and is tax- exempt under this section of the Internal Revenue Code. The Federal Tax ID is #61-1163112. |

Family Payment Agreements |
|
PLEASE NOTE: Family payments form the basis of the annual budget. Our instructors and staff rely on us for their earned pay. However, we are unable to provide payment to these individuals due to many families who 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 have been completed 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 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.
