REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!

We need your small appliance boxes (think toaster size)!


Why? you ask? We will open the bottom and top, creating a "tube" of sorts. Then we will pull petticoats (fluffy underskirt) through them for storage!

VOLUNTEER CONNECTIONS
A monthly update from a Friend of YES...

December, 2008

A Friend Like You...
   
Ali Baba had his forty thieves; we need forty times four to make the latest production a success. I do not I have a magic lamp, nor a Genie, but I do have numerous Friends of YES who are willing to give of their time, money, abilities, or other talents.

We are looking for people who can sew, staple, paint. move sets, help kids backstage, or just help in general. I am hoping you might be interested in getting involved with YES Company in some form. I have been involved with YES Company for the past 8 years. I had no theatre experience prior to my initial introduction helping move costumes from the "costume shoppe" to the theatre and then helping-out backstage. Every show, I am always amazed at the imagination and technique that goes into each production. I have no sewing "prowess", nor do I have any talent building sets or props, but since becoming involved with YES Company I have now attempted to accomplish both tasks. The point being, you need no experience to become involved with this wonderful program, just get involved.

With the expansion of YES Company to now include YES Kids and the newest addition YES Kiddettes we need more volunteers than ever before. I am always amazed at the dedication, work ethic and unselfish dedication the kids involved with this company demonstrate. If you missed the recent production of Disney's The Jungle Book, Kids by the YES Kiddettes you missed being transported to a jungle full of tigers, snakes, a huge bear and some of the cutest elephants I have ever seen. Every time I am fortunate enough to watch a YES production I am amazed at the talent of the children involved and the tremendous dedication from all the facets behind the scenes.

So check your calendars...Friends of YES meet the first Thursday of every month at YES Company's home office across the street from VCHS on Campus Way in Modesto. And don't miss the next opportunity to be swept away as Jasmine and Aladdin take us on" a magic carpet ride." "Don't you dare close your eyes" (or turn your backs) to the talented youth of Stanislaus County.

Come join us and "Be a Friend like Me"!
