TH E BO O STER C LU B IS BAC K, AND W E ARE BAC K FO R THE ATHLETES! . By- -Vennea Stephenson is a new a new school year begins w e are all iced w ith changes, cut backs and controversies ietween our com m unity. But, if you go out and jok on the field or in the gym you w ill see the one hing that has alw ays been Strong and True- O UR JH LETES. I w ould like to challenge each and very one of us to go w atch them ; I m ean really ee w ho they are and w hat they have accom p- ished. Every w eek they w alk out on the field now ing that they soon w ill be hit so hard that it night knock their helm ets off their heads or get hrow n to the ground w ith so m uch force it m akes hem see stars, and if that w asn ’ t bad enough they iften find them selves at the bottom of an 8- m an file up. And then there are those w ho intention- illy throw them selves on a hard floor just to keep i ball in play, know ing that the part of their body hat w ill be hitting the floor is not protected by lads, and then, w ithout hesitation, they do it igain. But the AM AZIN G thing is that they ontinue putting them selves in harm s w ay for /hat? FO R TH E LO VE O F THE G AM E ...T HAT M Y :RIEND IS TH E TRUE SPIRIT O F AN ATHLETE. )ver the past years w e have w atched our athletes ilay sick, play w ith ankles so sprained they could lardly w alk, and through the pain they w ould play ven harder. That is w hen w e w ere the proudest of hem , they allow ed us to w itness their drive and leterm ination, and then, know ing that they /ouldn ’ t give up, that they w ouldn ’ t let their team - nates dow n, that is w here they show ed us their learts. hey can ’ t fight against cut-backs, politics and all he other obstacles, but that is w hy w e as parents, riends, fam ilies and teachers should step in and nake sure that the best is done for them , because hat is all they have ever given us, their best It is m r turn now to show them w hat kind of deter- lination and heart w e have. SO w ith this reason w e have resurrected THE IO O STER C LUB . W hen the final decision w as lade to re-establish the Booster C lub w e w ere aid that w e w ould be responsible for keeping our ports program s running, and w ith that w e w ere liven the concession stand to help us w ith our ask. A t that tim e M ary Slaten agreed to be in harge of THE BO O STER C LU B. She w as told /hat w e w ould be responsible for, and that w e /ould have to raise our ow n m oney to get verything started. So that is w hat The Slaten Clan lid. R ob and the boys w orked over a m onth reparing a float for the 4 th of July Parade in hady C ove. They w on First Place and a cash rize of $1,000.00. The Slaton gals did other jndraisers, and w hen they w ere done they had aised over $1200.00. W AY TO G O SLATO N C LANl veryone know s that there is a lot of w ork in tinning a concession stand, but it can also be a at of fun. W e have a lot of things planned for our nproved concessions. First off, after all the hom e am es w e w ill be offering the players a free m eal, re w ill also offer the fans a great dinner special at n affordable price. O ur goal is to keep our fans om ing back for m ore.
