Do you still owe on your fair share fees? Have you heard how easy the parking fundraiser is?  Would you like to get a head start on next year's fees?  This is truly an easy no-sell fundraiser: Mrs. Reeder sends a notice of available opportunities, you work, log hours, Central Parking sends a check for your time directly to the HHS Band Booster mail box, and Mrs. Allen credits your account.

If you are interested, send an email to parking@hillwoodband.com to be added to the email list.
