Car Wash Update!
I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to support The Beaumont High School Band and Color Guard at the car wash today!
Thank you for taking time out of you schedules to come and show your support. Whether as a parent, or as just a local citizen who was willing to take the time to have the group wash your car. Also thank you to the customers who made extra donations, know that your money is going to a very special group of kids. I know the kids really appreciated all the support and encouragement that they received today. The kids were very tired by the end of the afternoon, but they had lots of fun, If you were unable to join us this time there are more car washes planned to take place sometime in the spring.

Car Wash!!
Anyone who is in the Banning/Beaumont, Ca area: The Beaumont High School Marching Band and Color Guard will be holding a Car Wash this Saturday(tomorrow) to help raise fund for their group. If you haven't purchased a ticket for the car wash yet that's okay. You can still come get your car washed without one. (you will however need to pay for it, of course)
It will be held at the corner of 6th St. and Pennsylvania in Beaumont. Prices are as follows: $5 donation for a car and $8 donation for a truck. They will be there washing from 9am-3pm. So come out and support a good cause and help encourage some amazing kids!
I personally will be there from 12-3, so if anything, come out to meet me! (And get your car washed while you are at it!)
Thanks in advance, email me with any questions!

Fund-Raiser!!
O.k. Once again the San Gorgonio Middle School Theater Group is having a candle fund-raiser. Unfortunately this still does not allow you to purchase online. So if you are interested in purchasing any of the candles and are in the Banning or Beaumont, California area please email me. That way I can put you in touch with one of the group who is selling these candles. This fundraiser is for them to raise money for this years performance of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Which is scheduled for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of December. (I will have more on times and place later)
There are 15 different scents and each one is $10. The only thing over $10 is the Jar Candle Topper and Base which is $18. It also says the burn time on the candles is 50hrs.
