Parent Newsletter #1: July 1, 2010

Greetings TADW Parents.  Here is the text of the first parent newsletter that went home today with your child(ren). You may also have received this by email. (If you didn't, please contact Beth Lasky (info below) with your updated email address.)  Your child(ren) also received a copy of a carpool list.

NEWSLETTER #1 – July 1, 2010 

WE’RE OFF TO A GREAT START!  Rehearsals and classes have begun and everyone is really excited.  Thanks to all the students, families and staff of TADW. 

Communication -  Messages to parents are put on the TADW website (www.csun.edu/tadw) and sent home.  Please ask your child, daily, if anything was distributed to take home.  In addition, feel free to contact Beth Lasky at beth.lasky@csun.edu or (818)677-2725 (campus) or (818)883-7314 (evenings), or Doug Kaback at doug.kaback@csun.edu or (818)677-5811 (campus) or Brent Rosen at brentrosen79@gmail.com or (818)571-4007 (campus).   

Dance Shoes -  Everyone needs jazz or ballet shoes for dance.  You can buy them at Apparel Warehouse at 6010 Yolanda in Tarzana or Capezio Dance Shop at 7120 Topanga Canyon Blvd in Canoga Park. 

Drop-Off and Parking -  When dropping off or picking up your child, we suggest you enter lot B1 from Darby, drop your child off and then either exit at Etiwanda or Darby.  Parking is available in Lots B1, B2, B3 surface lots and the B3 parking structure between Darby and Etiwanda just north of Nordhoff.  Permit parking on campus is enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Permit dispenser machines are located in Lot B1 and inside parking structure B3.  Daily permits are $6 and are available from 7am-9pm, at the kiosks on Prairie (just off Darby) and on Lindley (just off Nordhoff).   

Parent/Guardian Committee Meeting -  Friday, July 2, 2010 from 2:30-4:00pm in the Theater Conference Room 104 or another room which will be posted.  Each summer this committee helps organize several aspects of TADW like ushering and concessions.  The weekly Friday meetings are a great opportunity to meet other families and share questions and concerns.  All parents and guardians are welcome!

NO CLASSES OR REHEARSALS -  Monday, July 5, 20010

Concessions Stand -  We will be collecting your contributions to the TADW concessions stand beginning Tuesday, July 6 – canned sodas/bottled water/juice boxes (or other re-sellable drinks) and/or candy bars/cookies/chips/etc.  All items should be pre-packaged.  If families would prefer to make a cash donation for the purchase of snacks or drinks, that’s fine, too.  All proceeds from the concessions stand go to the TADW scholarship fund.

Ushers -  A sign-up sheet for ushers will be available at the Parent Meeting starting July 2nd.  All ushers see the show for free if there is room in the theater. 

Ticket Selling -  A number of the weekday matinees are sold out to camp programs, however there a still plenty of tickets for weeknight and weekend performances.  We need everyone’s help to fill up the theatre.  We’re asking everyone to sell 25-50 tickets each.  Please help by letting friends and families know they can buy tickets. Tickets may be ordered online by going to the TADW website at www.csun.edu/tadw or by calling the TICKET OFFICE 818/677-2488, or at the Associated Students Ticket Office on campus.  We have beautiful brochures that you can give out.  We also have posters that can be displayed in local stores. 

Sponsors -  We are looking for individuals, families, and businesses who would like to make a tax-deductible contribution and sponsor under-privileged youth organizations by buying tickets for them to see our shows.  Please contact Doug Kaback to make a donation or to sponsor a group of your choice.   

Carpool List -  A list of all TADW members is available and has been distributed.  If your son or daughter did not give it to you, please ask for it or email Beth.
