Lakeside Singers is currently at 50 tickets sold. Great work so far!
A few people have been asking for a specific section to sit in. Mr. Dziewior will personally be buying his tickets for Section 407, view outfield level. You feel free to purchase tickets WHEREVER! There is absolutely no requirement for all of Jefferson West to sit next to each other, BUT WOULDN'T THAT BE AWESOME!! Plus, it's a Wednesday night game in the nose bleeds, so we may be able to shift around a bit.

National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries and library professionals play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
Millions of people visit their libraries every week. What's the draw? Everything. Take time to discover (or rediscover) what draws people in.
• Visit your library and bring friends or family along.
• Encourage a friend to get a library card—it’s a simple act that opens a world of opportunity.
• Browse the shelves, join a book club, or attend a story time. Sketch out your next creative project in a makerspace, hear from an inspiring author, or find expert help with research, job hunting, or tracing your family roots. Libraries connect us to ideas, information, and each other—and they’re built for everyone.
Read a good book today!
Don’t forget…The Jefferson West Education Foundation Crawfish/Shrimp Boil is this Saturday, April 12th! There’s still time to pre-register so we get a good count on food. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!
