HELP NEEDED WITH
COSTUMES
Calling all sewers....A
mother/daughter team has graciously agreed to head the costume committee
for the Thespians' Spring production, Pride and Prejudice, but they need
lots of helpers. If you are willing to help out, please contact Mrs.
Babal (jbabal@franklinregional.k12.pa.us).
Speaking as a previous "costume mistress" no contribution is too small.
I had a mother who didn't know how to machine sew, but was willing to
sew on buttons, which given the colonial costumes involved was a lot of
buttons! All offers of help are welcomed and appreciated. You don't
have to have a child involved in the production to help out. Maybe you
just like to sew or maybe you are an Austen fan and would love to help
recreate her world on stage at FRHS, it doesn't matter what your motive,
just please consider helping out. Thanks.

THESPIANS LOOKING
FOR A FEW GOOD CHAIRS AND MORE
For those of
you who are familiar with Jane Austin's classic, Pride and Prejudice,
you know many of the scenes take place in "sitting rooms", hence the
Thespian's need for "seats". Obviously, by the very nature of a play,
the furniture will need to be moved around on and off stage at various
times during each performance and during some of the rehearsals,
therefore the Thespians aren't looking for family heirloom pieces or
anything too valuable or fragile. If however, if you have in your
basement or attic an odd chair or two, which happen to be old-fashion
looking, and you would be willing to temporarily part with them, please
contact Mrs. Babal at
jbabal@franklinregional.k12.pa.us. In addition to chairs, they
are specially in need of a chaise.

Editor's note: I will run fundraising
announcements in the E-News about once a week. If you are
associated with a school related organization and would like
to advertise it in the E-News please send me an article to
FRHSnews@windstream.net. I have found the simpler the
format the better. Often when I copy more complicated items
the original formatting (fonts, spacing, colors, etc)
doesn't transfer well and I end up having to retype the
article. Please be sure to include a contact person and an
end date, so I know how long to run the article.
