In the past two editions of The Weaverville Tribune, we have reported a notice of the North Buncombe High School's car wash Saturday (Aug. 23). In light of the drought facing the area, the band will now hold a "waterless car wash." Here is excerpts from the press release:
North Buncombe High School band will be holding a FREE WATERLESS Car Care-a-Thon.
North Buncombe originally scheduled a FREE Car Wash-a-thon for Saturday, 23 August 2008 at three locations in Weaverville. Ace Hardware and McDonalds located on Weaver Boulevard along with Tractor Supply located on Monticello Road.
During this type of fundraiser, students collect pledges of money per car washed, in this case cleaned, similar to a walk-a-thon. The band cleans X number of cars then collects the pledges based on the number of cars. The car care is FREE but a tax deductible donation will gladly be accepted at each of the three sites from 9-3 on Saturday August 23 or may be sent directly to the band at P.O. Box 1175 Weaverville, NC 28787
According to Johnny Grindstaff, Co-President of the North Buncombe Band Boosters, "We plan on holding a FREE Car Care-a-Thon from 9-3 on Saturday at the same locations listed above. During this event, we will wash your vehicle's exterior windows, clean the headlight and taillight lens with window cleaner and paper towels. We won't use a drop of water. The decision to go waterless was based on the premise that it was just the right thing to do."
