PRYVIT 2013


PRYVIT NEWSLETTER #2
Hello Sopilka Families,
Well spring is FINALLY here, competition season is wrapping up & Pryvit is 3 very short weeks away.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for volunteering their time.  I understand that spring is a busy time and everyone is anxious to get outside and enjoy the weather, so I am very grateful that you are willing to share some of that time with Sopilka.
I have attached a copy of the job list and where you have volunteered to work.  Please read it carefully, as you will need to know what to bring, and where you need to be, and whom you are working with.
I believe that everyone has their Pryvit tickets already, if you have not received them please let me know. 
We will require ALL dancers to be available on Saturday for the rehearsal. Attached is the practice schedule.  Please be sure to have your dancer at the venue least 10 min before their required rehearsal time so that we can keep things running smoothly.  Also please have your dancer dressed in his/her black Sopilka t-shirt and black bottoms.  We like to take a group picture of all the dancers.
We are having a family picnic on Saturday as well; there will be more info to follow closer to the date.
One other item I would like to mention.  There is room on the grounds for campers/trailers if anyone wishes to have their camper on site.  If you plan on having your trailer at Pryvit please call Kathy at the Ag Society to let her know that you will be bringing it (780)632-3950.
Thank you again for your help with everything!! It is greatly appreciated.  If you have any concerns or questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dancers cannot sit with their parents at any time during the concert, because they are needed at the beginning, middle, and end of the concert and it causes a disruption of the concert with children running back and forth.  Please be sure that the SAME supervisor is at the full run through on Saturday, as supervisor on Sunday.  DO NOT send one person Saturday, then a different person Sunday.  The supervisor needs to have the feel of the run through to be prepared for the concert.

Hello Sopilka Families,

This is a quick note to let you know that we will be handing out your 5 family Pryvit Tickets on picture day.  If you would like to pre-purchase more tickets some will be available to buy that day as well for $5.00.  We have limited tickets printed this year, so we may sell out fast, but have no fear no one will be turned away!! You can always purchase your seat at the gate, for the same low price of $5.00 on Pryvit day.

This year each dancer in levels yellow-black will receive 5 extra tickets, and the Ensemble dancers will receive 3 extra tickets.  The intent of these tickets is for each dancer to be able to personally invite their friends to the performance.  Each ticket will admit 1 student. We would like the kids to be able to show their friends their talents & achievements from the year.

We will also have extra DVD’s for sale that day as well.  Each family is already receiving a DVD of the show which was included in your enrolment fees.  But if you would like an extra DVD or 2 for Baba & Gido, then you can order them on picture day as well.  I have attached a copy of the DVD order form for you to fill out.  Each DVD is $25.00.

Whew it will be a busy jammed packed day with pictures, tickets & order forms. 

Thank you everyone for your support!  Have a great weekend!

Pryvit 2013 Newsletter #1
Hello Sopilka Family,

My name is Barb Jardine.  I am the Pryvit 2013 director for this year, which will be held on Sunday June 2, 2013 at the Agricultural Fairgrounds Grandstand.  Well time is certainly flying by us this year!  It is hard to believe that it is competition season already; before we know it Pryvit will be upon us.  (Let’s hope all this snow isn’t still here by then!)

“Pryvit” meaning welcome is our finale to a great year.  It is a time for our children to show case all of their talents and hard work from throughout the year.  It is a time that our children really look forward to.  Unfortunately this occasion cannot happen without help from our families.  With commitment and co-operation of our Sopilka families, Pryvit 2013 will be a huge success.  Attached is a copy of the jobs and number of people required to fill these jobs.  Every family must sign up for at least one job.  Once you volunteer, I will get a description of your duty to you.  I will try my best to describe the jobs and I am open to any suggestions to make this weekend better for everyone.
I will be taking names on a first come/first serve basis for 2 weeks (deadline April 20, 2013) I know this seems a bit early but there are a few jobs that need to be done earlier such as advertising.  It also just gives everyone a chance to prepare for what is coming up as time is moving very quickly.  There is less than 2 months before Pryvit is upon us!!

Please call (780)632-3227, e-mail bjtech@telus.net , or text me (780)632-1151 to sign up for the position you wish to help with.  In the case that I do not get enough volunteers, I will assign positions to families.
This is an occasion that everyone; our children, our community and us as parents look forward to every year, so let’s please all work together to make Pryvit 2013 a great success!

Thank you for your time
Barb Jardine
