Again, this year, the Arcanum Band Boosters club, A# Club will be hosting their annual Mattress sale. If you’ve never been, this is an excellent way to help our young musicians in a positive way and replace that old mattress in your home! Circle this date on your calendar and plan now to attend and purchase bedding and support the Arcanum music program all at the same time!
On Sunday, May 19th, Arcanum A# Club will be hosting their seventh annual Mattress Sale Fundraiser. A showroom will be set up in the Arcanum Field House with dozens of name-brands, top-quality products with full manufacturer warranties. This includes memory foam, latex, Simmons “Beautyrest” mattresses, adjustable bases, pillows, protectors, and frames. They offer all sizes, all price ranges & delivery. Mattresses are made to order and available a few weeks after the sale. The proceeds from every sale will benefit the music students of AHS.
