HOLD THE DATE !!!
IB Senior Banquet
Wednesday Evening, June 9th 2010
Higgins Hall at St Lawrence Catholic Church
The IB Senior Banquet committees are hard at work for our kids, but we are still in need of additional volunteers.
Most urgently, we need someone with computer, layout skills to help with the memory book.
The memory book is a wonderful keepsake for our kids of their four years at Hillsborough and an important fundraiser for the Banquet.
Many of you have sent e-mails offering help. Please let me know you would be able to help with this project.
Respectfully Begging,
Ethel Pila, Chair, IB Banquet 2010

January 2010:
To all IB Seniors and their Parents:
The IB Banquet fundraising committee will be holding their next meeting on at Barnes and Noble on North Dale Mabry in Carrollwood. The meeting will start promptly at 7:30 and hopefully be done by 9 at the latest.
In order to ensure a night to remember for our kids, we really need to get going with fund raising. We have several projects in mind that will not require a major time commitment on anyone’s part, especially if you share the responsibilities with a friend or two. You might even have fun!
So….grab a friend or two and join us on Jan 26th at Barnes and Noble. An RSVP would be appreciated; thanks! Ethl@juno.com. If you are not able to attend the meeting, but are interested in helping out, please let me know.
Again, we encourage both students and parents to attend!!
