Tax-Deductible End-of-Year Donations |

As the 2016 calendar draws to a close, many families consider where to make end-of-year tax deductible donations. One excellent option is the Lafayette Band Association. The Lafayette Band Association, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. All donations to the LBA are used to support the Lafayette Band program expenses – music instruction, marching band drill and music arrangements, concerts and performances, transportation, uniform care, etc. Donations can be made online at www.lafayetteband.org – simply click on the donate button (located on the right side of the homepage) to make a secure payment via PayPal or credit card. Thank you for your continued support. |

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 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 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 |
