Fall Musical – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Moorestown Friends School will present “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” as the fall musical. Tickets will be on sale starting October 19. The performances will be held:

Friday, 11/20 at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, 11/21 at 7:30 p.m.

We need your help. Several aspects of the performances at MFS are dependent on parent volunteers. The Bravo! Club, a parent organization that helps raise awareness of the arts in the MFS community, works closely with the Arts Department to support the shows. The club is currently looking for volunteers to help with:

• Tech Week Dinner Donations
• Intermission Refreshment Sales
• Refreshment Donations
• “MFS in the Arts Spotlight” Coordinator
• Photographer

There are other ways to get involved, both on and off the stage. If you would like to volunteer your time, please contact Bravo! Club Co-Chair Meredith Kay.

Parent Phonathon Volunteers Needed

The Parent Phonathon will take place on Sunday, October 25 and Monday, October 26 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. (you may select one or both evenings). A dinner will be held at Head of School Larry Van Meter’s home, after which volunteers will head to Stokes Hall to contact fellow parents to support the Annual Fund. To volunteer, please contact Director of Annual Giving, Kristy Embrack at (856) 914-4410.
