Final Reminder Fannie May candy ordering will close this Wednesday, October 28th!

 

The DGN Friends of Fine Arts 2020 Fannie May Candy Fundraiser is coming to an end – don’t miss out!  Just a couple of days left to place your orders.  The online ordering will close THIS WEDNESDAY, October 28th!  We are re-posting our earlier announcement of the candy sale in case you missed it.

The DGN Fine Arts programs are counting on your support.  Thank you for your consideration and efforts!

RE-POSTING:

The DGN Friends of Fine Arts are happy to announce that the DGN Friends of Fine Arts 2020 Fannie May Candy Fundraiser and celebrate its 100th Anniversary! As the weather cools and the leaves begin to turn, we know the holidays are just around the corner. While many of our holiday celebrations will look different this year, there is one holiday tradition that we can still enjoy – delicious Fannie May chocolates! Let us cherish these delicious, premium, fine chocolates made since past century!


 


LET US CELEBRATE 100th YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF FANNIE MAY TOGETHER!

Fine Arts students and their families should have already received an email regarding the sale with links to the Fannie May Holiday Catalog and the site to place your order. You can also find them HERE and HERE.


The Fannie May Candy sales program is an important fundraising revenue stream for DGN Fine Arts (along with Spirit Wear sales and the Spring Plant Sale) and it is a vital component in reaching our 
annual goal of $50,000 to support our Fine Arts students and programs. If every Fine Arts student at DGN sold or purchased one box of Pixies, more than $4,000 would be earned toward that targeted number!

 A few helpful selling points/ideas:

·         Candy makes a great Christmas/Holiday gift - a perfect way to celebrate the season or say "thank you" to someone.

·         Student orders will be delivered to DGN (NOT to homes) and ready for drive through pickup on the morning of Saturday, November 21st - in time for Thanksgiving.

·         Prices are the same as in store - but NO sales tax.

·         Orders will be delivered by the student seller (or proxy) to the customer- no dealing with crowds and waiting in lines.

·         Delicious Fannie May chocolate confections. 'Nuff said!

 Questions? Please contact Chairperson Kathy Nelson at tknel@att.net, or 630.269.9708

 Thank you very much for your support of DGN Fine Arts. Happy Selling!

It's really GRAND! New piano finds home at DGN


Thanks to the wonderful financial support of the DGN Friends of Fine Arts, and the District 99 Board of Education, a beautiful new grand piano made its way into Pohlmann Hall at North High today! 

"Words could not express our excitement as we watched a brand new piano roll into our DGN Choir Room," said music faculty member Ms. Beth O'Riordan. "It will provide such high quality musical support to our students for many, many years to come. We are so grateful to have amazing support from the DGN Friends of Fine Arts and our District 99 Administration!"

"The new piano has a touch that is incredibly responsive," added Dr. Frank Piekarz. "This instrument will allow us to play accompaniments and vocal parts with greater clarity and sensitivity. It also sounds fantastic in the room - it's perfectly suited given our choir room's size and acoustical treatments."

Spiritwear store is open...

Obviously the beginning of the school year has not been what we were hoping for, but one thing hasn’t changed, and that is DGN Fine Arts Spirit Wear! Have you been waiting to plant a CHOIR yard sign in your lawn? Are you counting down the minutes until you can wear your DGN | THEATRE t-shirt? Did you miss the awesome cookbook on sale this summer and you are hoping you can still have one to start cooking up some delicious meals, courtesy of your fellow Fine Arts families? Well, we have what you need!

 

Please check out the link below, for t-shirts, yard signs, and a wonderful cookbook. We WILL have a much more extensive offering of spirit wear within a week, courtesy of Deb’s Embroidery, a local business that has wonderful quality items for us. Deb is still tweaking the store to make sure it’s everything we want it to be, so stay tuned. We’ll get it out to you as soon as we can!

 

In the meantime, here’s the site you’ve been waiting for: https://dgn-friends-of-fine-arts.square.site 

 

If you’re wondering how you will get your items, here’s the best part — we deliver! Once you order, we will be in touch with delivery times and to get your address. Please ignore all the messages on the website that say your items will be available for pickup — there is no pickup. We’ll bring it to you, we promise!

 

Any questions? Please email dgnfofaspirit@gmail.com!

Welcome to 2020-21 school year and Thank you to all the contributing and volunteering FOFA Members

 WELCOME to DGN 2020-21 School Year! With the end of last year being cut short, and many events not being held, this is just a quick post to pass on an overdue THANK YOU to all of our DGN FOFA contributing members over the past 2019-20 school year. Thank you for their generous donations to the DGN Fine Arts programs! We also would like to extend our gratitude to all the volunteers who put forth their precious time either being a board member, a committee chair or pitching in to help volunteer for all the different Fine Arts events. 

Every year DGN Friends of  Fine Arts sets a financial fundraising goal for the year. We achieve that goal through fundraising and donations to our Contributing Members Fund. Past years Contributing member's helped fund activities across ALL disciplines.

DGN Friends of Fine Arts appreciates each and every one for the continuing generosity in helping make DGN Fine Arts the amazing program that it is! Lastly we would like to extend our thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who help our events run smooth by generously donating their time and energy. THANK YOU!!!
