NEW LENOX, IL — Fundraisers for parent groups and organizations look a little different this year, but the Lincoln-Way High Schools Music Boosters will still host its Supporters In Area Music (SIAM) fundraiser. The fundraiser involves the selling of SIAM books, which includes discounts to over 170 Lincoln-Way area businesses from Oct. 2020 through Sept. 2021. SIAM District Coordinator Becky Dalseth said students were unable to go door to door this year to sell the books. So, this year, the books are available online, through order from a Lincoln-Way music student, or for purchase at Action Sports, Dan's Homemade Candies, El Burrito Loco, Fleckenstein's Bakery, The Flower Cottage, Gatto's Restaurant, The Hair Spot, Hearts & Flowers, Manhattan Dental, Midtown Wine Bar, Pedigree Junction, Petal & Twigs and Zembar Jewelers. According to the organization, the proceeds from the books go to support Lincoln-Way high schools' music activities. Dalseth told Patch the organization usually sells over 5,000 books, and have sold 1,000 so far this year. Books are $20 each. The book contains two SIAM cards, which can then be used to obtain advertised discounts. The music boosters organizations at all three high schools support music-related activities like the marching bands, madrigals, musicals, choirs, jazz bands, guitar studios and orchestras.
