8/22/08  Booster Meeting
We will be e-mailing minutes of our meeting for those who weren't able to attend, but for now, here are a few things to note.
Congratulations to Terri Ramey who became our new Vice President. She will be assuming the role of President at the end of this season.
We will be ordering several items to purchase over the next couple of weeks. "Chiefs socks"  and sweat pants for the players and t-shirts for the
parents. I will keep you posted when these become available.

Please make sure you have included us in your "accepted" list of contacts so you receive the e-mails. If you have questions please contact me

Parent E-mail
Thank you to the parents who have let me know that they aren't getting our e-mails. I have tried my hand at a new
element on our website. Namely, the form below. Please fill it out if you were unable to attend the Booster meeting
last Friday. This should get all the information to us that we need to insure you receive all of our e-mails in the future.
(This goes directly to my e-mail so no one else views your information.)
Uniform update:
Attention players! Please make sure your booster fees have been paid. We will be issuing uniforms to those girls that have their money
turned in.
Carwash News:
You have until the end of Sept to turn in your money from the carwash fundraiser.
ATTENTION BOOSTER PARENTS.
Hello everyone and welcome back for another season. Some of you are just beginning this journey while others of us are wrapping up the 4th
year of our childs' high school memories. (Forgive me while I get a little misty here). Will, Sherry, and I, along with all the other returning parents
are excited to meet the new members of our booster family. Keep checking the website/schedule as this will be updating periodically.
