Counterpoints Parents Organization (CPO), 2007-2008


Counterpoint Parent Organization 2007 - 2008
http://counterpoints.net

Welcome to the 2007 - 2008 Counterpoint year.

Our mission as the Counterpoint Parent Organization (CPO) is to support the organization, its students and its Director, Pat Wiehe. Mrs. Wiehe does a phenomenal job working with our students. She will have help from Brent "Woody" Holland, the choreographer and Michael and Pamela Runyan, the arrangers, but she depends on the CPO, as well!

Many opportunities exist for parents to help. Below are the CPO officers and the committees:

Forms
Health forms must be completed in full, notarized and returned with your singer on the first day of camp. Additionally, if your singer does not carry a copy of your health insurance card, please attach a photocopy of your card to the health form. Please understand that this information is for the safety and protection of your student.

Financial Projections for the Year
The following is our best projection for your personal budgeting. You will receive exact amounts as they become available. Each student has an account to which expenses are charged. You will receive a monthly statement from the treasurer detailing these expenses. Your student will have fundraising opportunities. While no formal program for financial assistance exists, you are encouraged to discuss your own circumstances with Mrs. Wiehe if you will need to set up an extended payment plan.


Expense $ When Due
Costume Rental $310 $150 due in August
$160 due in September
Shoes $55-$60 August
Rugby Shirt $25 September
T-Shirt CP $10 fall
Set $10 February
Hose $10 as needed
Socks $2 as needed

Shoes, rugby shirts and CP t-shirts are one time expenses. They do not need to be replaced each year. Additionally, women need a black long-line bra with a built in panty or a long-line and a pair of black trunks. These items are needed before the Counterpoint Camp in August. Kinney Dance will come in during camp week to outfit new students with shoes. It is recommended that all students have stops put on their shoes, and that the women also purchase braces (the cost of stops and braces are included above).

Fundraising opportunities:

Car Washes June 2, July 28 and August 11 at NCHS and June 9 at Donatos
PA Trash Bag Sale fall
Fruit Sale November

Please be aware that the actual costume bill is far greater than the $310 you are being charged. Additional group expenses include choreography and arrangements. The MIC Show Choir Competition hosted by NC in early March is the primary fundraiser to offset these expenses. Your help in making this event a success is critical!

Additionally there may be other expenses, including possible overnight trips, in conjunction with competing and performing.
