FHC Club

Dear Parent/Guardian and Student:

Welcome to the FHC Club, 2016! Perhaps you’ve heard about our group through various fund raising activities…but our work goes beyond raising money!

The Mission of the FHC Club is to enhance the education, school activities, and the welfare of the Francis Howell Central students, and to Sponsor a Sober Grad Night Party through a partnership of students, parents and educators. - It will take great people like you to help achieve this goal.

We don’t expect a huge time commitment from volunteers. An hour can be a big help to our group and the school, and we have positions and tasks to fit all schedules and interests. Just let us know whether a program, event, or activity interests you and when you might be free to help. (You don’t even have to come to the school or attend a meeting to be involved, although we’d really like to meet you personally!)

Registering is just the first step to a successful Club. Participants can help raise money for our Mission. We encourage members to pay $25.00 per year in dues. Your dues will serve a two-fold purpose while offering an additional benefit. First, the dues collected will help support the ongoing life of the organization by providing funds to cover expenditures on administrative expenses and fund raising events and second, it will be applied to your students Senior Graduation Party Ticket.

We promise that the time you give our group and the school will be worth the while and enjoyable!

Feel free to e-mail if you have questions. Together, we can make a difference at our school and in our children’s lives!

Sincerely,

Todd Berck
