BuonaBeefHello Band Families and Friends!
Kick the snow off your shoes and join the party for a Buona winter restaurant fundraiser on Monday, February 21, 2011. The eat’n starts at 10:30 AM and lasts till the close of business at 10:30 PM at the Buona restaurant located at 7417 Cass Avenue in Darien. This is a day off from school for our students, so it is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a tasty meal with family and friends. The Downers Grove South High School Bands will receive 15% to 25% of our sales, so the more people who come to Buona on February 21st, the more money Buona donates to our bands.

Debbie Spiewak
