Monthly Hoagie Sales Hoagies are a long-standing fundraising tradition for the Grenadier Band and Orchestra. This sale provides a fre-quent and regular source of income for both the individual student and the organization as a whole. Each hoagie sells for $3.50—of that, $2.00 goes directly into the student’s quota, and a variable portion goes into the general fund. Four varieties are offered: Regular with and without onions, and Turkey with and without onions. Regular hoagies contain ham, bologna, salami and American cheese; Turkey hoagies contain turkey breast and American cheese. All types come with a separate baggie of lettuce and tomato (these hoagies do not get soggy! A great selling point!) and an Italian dressing packet.
It is extremely important to place your order on the dates listed below so that enough supplies are ordered. It is preferred to order online from the LHSGB&OPC website. We begin making hoagies at 6:30 AM on the 2nd Saturday of every month in the Liberty cafeteria. All students who participate in the sale MUST help make hoagies and MUST have an adult partner. If there is a scheduling prob-lem, a substitute must be found. Any questions, email Frank/Chris at [email protected].
