Fellow AFM Members, May 12, is the final All-Members Meeting for the year.  This is an important meeting for members, as two important votes occur at this meeting: Budget 2011-2012 and the Election of the 2011-2012 Executive Board.   All members - parents of choir, orchestra, bands, percussion and guard - are encouraged to attend this meeting.  Refreshments will be served.  And there will be LIVE MUSIC - generously presented by some of our students.  Please mark your calendars now.

Check out the on line catalog it's being updated every day!

Don't miss this.  Hugh Jackman is coming to San Francisco and we have 4 excellent tickets for Saturday, May 7th at 8pm!  Hugh earned a Tony award on Broadway for his work in "The Boy From Oz."  He won an Emmy award for hosting the Tony's and in 2010 he was fabulous hosting the Oscars.  He's so versatile he can play Wolverine and sing and dance like the Broadway star he is.  His one man show is only at the Curran theater for 2 weeks.  Invite another couple or plan a moms and daughters evening out and bid on these rare tickets!  Wouldn't the moms love to celebrate Mother's Day by seeing Hugh Jackman and his 17 piece orchestra on May 7th, the night before Mom's Day?!

If you have any questions about the Magic of Music and the auction items, please contact Sally Baker.

See you there!
