Hello all!
I am going to break the fourth wall here for a second and share some important information regarding the Band Booster Organization. As many may know, the Band Boosters is run by volunteer parents who are elected to run the non-profit organization for set terms. As the proud father of a 2026 West Stokes graduate, my term as president has come to a close.
Serving the last two years as President of the WSBB has been an absolute honor. Getting to know and help these students was a blessing that I didn't even know I needed in my life, and I am forever a better person thanks to this opportunity.
This week I begin transitioning my duties to a fresh batch of board members who are excited to build off of what has been, and take this boosters to new heights. I am excited to see what the future holds!
As my last action as President, I want to launch a final initiative to help set the students and the WSBB up for success in the coming year. "100 for 100" came from a simple idea: Think of the difference 100 people donating $100 to this band would make. With rising costs all around and a band that is growing at incredible rates, the donations we take in are more important than ever. I believe that there are for sure 100 people (alumni, parents, supporters of the arts) in the area that would be willing to help set this band up for success this year. Please share this and let's see if we can make this a success!

Thank you all for the support over the last few years, and for letting me fill your feeds with Dewey's store updates and football game scores!
Sincerely,
Nick Winfrey
