Houston High School Track Booster Club
Spring 2009
About the club:
· The Houston High School Cross Country/Track and Field Booster Club is a volunteer, parent run organization established to support the Boys’ running programs at Houston High School. The Shelby County Public School system lacks the funding to provide what is necessary to run a successful program. The majority of the funds comes from the HHS
Cross County/Track Booster Club.
The Booster Club helps in the following ways:
· Pays for the Coaches’ Travel expenses (3 coaches)
· Assists with student/athlete’s travel expenses
· Organizes and assists in hosting home track meets.
· Plans and helps fund the end of year banquet to honor seniors, student athletes and coaches
· Purchases track and field equipment
· Helps purchase awards, trophies, and incentives
· Provides an award-winning program that helps our students learn, compete and grow as young adults
.
The HHS Cross Country/Booster Club Board
The club’s board is comprised of four volunteer positions:
Treasurer, Sally McLaughlin
Secretary, Terri Denison
President, Rich Bernstein
Vice President - open.
As one can see, we are a small organization and cannot “run” this alone. We need your time (just a little) and financial support.
Dues:
In this tough economy we are trying to keep dues low:
· Dues per family, (one or more sons on the team) - $150 per family
· Dues if you have a son on the boys’ team and a daughter on the girls’ team - $125 per family
To help fund the program and keep costs low, we host a variety of fund-raisers. These fund-raisers for 2009 enable us to keep dues at a minimum and include:
· Cookie dough sales
· Auctioning off a pool table on Craig’s list
· Possible Houston Track night at Quiznos
· Entrance fees to meets and concession stand sales
Benefits for Paid Members:
· End of Year Banquet free for Senior runners
· Two season passes for home track meets
· E-mail notification of meets and events
· The knowledge that you have helped make the spring track season a success for your student/athlete
