Message from the Board
Fellow Boosters;
As we pass the half way mark in the year I am very happy to report that the
booster family has been able to support the Athletic Department’s entire “Wish
List”. The list is an accumulation of items that the budget does not cover but
are still key items to the success of the school. This list, with a total cost of almost $50,000 this time, included an ice machine used for injuries, impact software that helps in the rehabilitation of athletes, essential equipment and uniforms and seed money for the baseball team to raise funds for their summer
baseball camp for underprivileged youth.
I am especially pleased that the boosters could provide the funds in a year
that has seen our profits down, our membership down and an economy that is
challenging to us all. We have also set aside an additional amount of money in
anticipation of opening a multi-purpose facility in the stadium that we feel
would help generate revenue from additional food and Wildcat Wear sales.
As we head toward the end of this year, please consider a possible commitment to the booster for the following year as a member and/or as a volunteer.
Positions are always available from volunteering for a single event to a seat on
the board as a chairperson or co-chair. Remember, the Boosters are nothing
without your support.
