Thanks to the volunteers who shared their time, good nature, and shoe leather, the Mustang Band Boosters raised over $4,000 for the Downers Grove Kiwanis in this year’s Annual Peanut Days drive. With your help, the Downers Grove Kiwanis can continue to support its many charitable activities in our community. If you want to know more about the good results that will come from your hard work, please click the following link for a brief list of DG Kiwanis' charitable efforts: http://www.dgkiwanis.org/soap.html
While this was a successful drive from many respects, we collected far less than we could have since fully 1/2 of the 198 volunteer slots went unfilled. (36 volunteers accounted for 99 hours of time collecting donations.)
Kiwanis Peanut Days 2011 will once again be held on the last full weekend of September (9/22-9/24). If you are still involved with the DGS Bands next year, or continue to have a soft spot in your heart for the bands, please plan on walking the streets with us once again. And please encourage your friends to join you as well. It is, at a minimum, only an hour or two of your time.

School’s started, the days are a bit cooler, and the Marching Band Season has begun. But what do Boosters do when there’s no Competition? It must be time for Kiwanis Peanut Days!

This year the Boosters will be working on 2 major intersections, 75th & Lemont Rd., and 63rd & Main St., as well as spending some time outside the Jewel/Osco at 63rd & Main. We are looking for Parent and Alumni volunteers to work the streets in the mornings and/or evenings; students are invited to work outside the Jewel (only) on Thursday evening. Volunteers are needed to cover the following timeslots marked with a 
:
| 75th & Lemont | 63rd & | Jewel (Stdts OK) | |
| THU 6:30am-9:30am | | | (none) |
| THU 4:00pm-7:00pm | | | |
| FRI 6:30am-9:30am | | | (none) |
| FRI 4:00pm-7:00pm | | | (none) |
| SAT 7:00am-10:00am | | | (none) |
Volunteers will work 1 hour shifts, and you can sign up for as many shifts as you like. (Student volunteers at Jewel will earn a Service Credit for time worked.) Gather a few friends and make a day of it. Work the same intersection and see who can collect the most! This really is a fun way to help the Boosters, the Kiwanis and our community.
