Hi all – We are planning for the Blackhawks March Band Concert with fundraiser next Tuesday, November 15 in Woonsocket.  We have decided to serve a meal prior to the concert…from 5:30-7. 

We will be serving both lasagna and tater tot hotdish, along with breadstick, lettuce, bar or cookie and drink.  Free will offering with proceeds to band. We are asking each Woonsocket family to donate either a pan of lasagna or a pan of tater tot hotdish.   We also need donations of a pan of bars or cookies from some Woonsocket families, and invite Sanborn Central families to help us out in that area if you would like .  It would be good if the bars/cookies were at the school by noon as well, but no later than 5:00.
