Corrected Dog Show Times

The registration starts at 6:30pm not 7:30 and the show will then start at 7 not at 8 (Thursday Aug. 18th). There are 2 different times for the show listed in the fair book, but to not keep the kids out too late on a school night the earlier time will be used.
If you have questions please let me know.
Thank You.

Library Volunteer Pot Luck Lunch and Recruitment Information

Monday, September 12th 10:00-2:00 we will have a volunteer gathering at the library. Bring a pot luck dish to share for lunch. Coffee will be provided. Besides planning for the upcoming year we will straighten shelves and do a little fall cleaning.

This would also be a great time to look into our volunteer program to see if is something you would want to do on a regular basis. Volunteers are scheduled for a 3 hour shift once a week. It is a chance to get to know your library up close and personal, meet new people, be first on the list to check out the new books, and be an important part of our library program.

We could not do all we do without our regular volunteers. The beauty of volunteering is you can take vacations, opt not to travel in the snow, opt not to travel in the heat, and opt to stay home on your day if the mood strikes you. Of course, I will dock your pay…but nothing from nothing is nothing!

So join us for good food, lots of laughs and some information on our volunteer program at your Collinsville Library.

For more information call Susan Babbitt @ 596-2840.

Only three days left to purchase tickets!

We have around fifty tickets left. There may actually be a few tickets available for purchase at the door this year, however, we cannot guarantee this.

Tickets may be reserved until 5 PM on Saturday by calling 596-2840. You may also purchase tickets at the Collinsville Library, 1223 W. Main Street, Collinsville, Oklahoma.

Please spread the word to everyone who might be interested in attending this event.

Collinsville Crimson Cadet Band Boosters

Ted,
If possible, I'd like to get something on cvilleok
about the Band Boosters organizion. As the club's PR
officer, I want to use every available avenue to
promote the organization, and your website, as far as
I'm concerned, is about the most informative!

Anyway....
The Collinsville Crimson Cadet Band Boosters meet the
second Tuesday of every month. The next meeting is
scheduled for September 13.
As you know, the Band Boosters organization is made up
of parents, grandparents, and others who support the
band program. The Booster Club is instrumental in
designing and building field props for the band's
show, volunteering to work in the concession stand at
home football games, helping at contests,and more.
All band and band student supporters are welcome and
encouraged to join the Band Booster club. There is no
cost to join, however, to become a member with voting
priviledges costs $5 per person. There will be a
membership sign-up booth at the Band Preview Night on
August 30th, or potential members can contact Booster
president Tim Nelson @ 371-2298.
Thanks for your assistance,
Elizabeth Sullivan
