Aloha Everyone,
Telemark Ball is a fundraiser in support of the HBDA instructors, rotating, senior and junior instructors. Proceeds from the ticket sales will fund the administrative and educational costs for maintaining our all-volunteer staff of instructors. Please impress upon your chapter members the fact that HBDA's instructors are all non-salaried volunteers. It is for this reason that students in our organization are able to enjoy quality ballroom dance instruction at a fraction of what is normally charged elsewhere. HBDA would not be the affordable educational institution that we are were it not for the selfless volunteerism of our instructors. HBDA's instructors are the backbone of our organization. We certainly hope you will make every effort to sell all the tickets that were distributed to your chapter. If students cannot attend, please encourage them to make a worthwhile donation.
Please inform your chapter members that a bento is included with pre-sale tickets purchased by Sunday, March 1, 2009. Tickets purchased at the door are the same price but do not include a bento. The "bentos" will be served 5:30pm - 7:00pm, and pre-sale ticket holders must pick up their bentos during that time. Any leftovers after 7:00pm will be offered to those who paid at the door. Doors will open early for General dancing at 5:30pm, Music by DJ Henry Lee. Reminder: No food or drinks in the ballroom area.
