ELECTION DAY AFFECTS MUSIC BOOSTERS RETAIL SALES



Ryan Knox and mom, Mary, take a shift at the Boosters table on Election Day.

Shirley Fong "making a sale" of merchandise at the Boosters table outside Burlington's Senatorial Election.

This past Tuesday (Election Day in Massachusetts) was quite exciting at Burlington High School. The number of voters that turned out to cast their votes for our new state senator (9,352 according to Boston Globe numbers or 58% of registered voters) was impressive. Thanks to Vicki Kikuchi, the Music Boosters received special permission to set up a table in the foyer of the election site with both merchandise and handouts for tomorrow’s Youth Movie Night/UNO Dine Out Night events. Thanks to the volunteer parents who manned the table, we are pleased to say that the merchandise sales brought in close to $400 for the Booster’s General Fund!
