Local lovebirds can send a Valentine’s Day message to their special someone via song with the ������������ Music Department’s “Love-You-Gram” fundraiser. ��Members of various music groups will travel the area on Valentine’s Day for donations to serenade unsuspecting significant others with love-inspired tunes as well as deliver other goodies.

• Pick-A-Love-Song (choose one of the following songs) - $25
  • Unchained Melody, That’s What Friends are For, or I Can’t Help Falling in Love

• Delivery Add-ons (can be ordered without purchasing a song)
  • Cupcakes, Valentine’s Card, and a Balloon - $20
  • Chocolates, Valentine’s Day Card, and a Balloon - $18
  • Two Heart Shaped Coasters - $12
  • Mini-Bag of Chocolates and a Balloon - $5 on campus, $10 off-campus
  • Ultimate package includes Pick-A-Love-Song and all add-ons and an emailed picture of your loved one with the performers! - $100

Director of Instrumental Activities Dr. Luis Palacios said running music programs are very costly and the department wanted to come up with a lighthearted, but effective way to raise funds. ��

“There are so many expenditures that we often need more money than is in our annual budgets, so this is a way to help pay for travel, costumes, musical literature, instruments and more,” he said.�� “Anybody can get flowers, but to be serenaded by our talented musicians is next-level.”

Deadline to place an order is Feb. 12. For more information or to order, contact Dr. Palacios at (620) 792-9396 or palaciosl@bartonccc.edu.
