At the last booster club meeting we briefly discussed an Alcamo’s fundraiser. It is a gift certificate sold for $10 that is worth $10 off a purchase at the restaurant in Richlandtown. The baseball team would earn 40% ($4) from every coupon sold. After thinking on the best way to handle this fundraiser, I would like to propose that each player is required to buy 5 coupons up front to sell as they want, then they keep the money they collect since they have already purchased them. They can always purchase more if they need to. That would ensure that all players are earning towards the fundraiser. And by just doing that the club would earn approximately $1000 with potential for more with every coupon sold beyond that. Please respond to let me know if this is acceptable with everyone. If the consensus is positive, I will be collecting money/distributing coupons this week at the games. Thank you for all your support for the boys! Lisa Sloss (sloss5@verizon.net)

Hello everyone!! Sorry for the extremely late notice but I have decided that we are in desperate need for abaseball booster club meeting this Thursday, April 15,10 at 7:00. I will let you know which room it will be in by tomorrow. We have to figure out what we are doing for snacks, prepare for the banquet, figure out senior gifts, and see if we are able to have a senior night. We also need to collect any uncollected flower sale money that night. Thank you for your continued support and if you are able, please try to attend this Thursday nights meeting. We need a lot of help in planning out the rest of the season and getting ready for next season

Hello everyone! Just wanted to let everyone know that the team t-shirts are in. We will try to get them to each coach by Monday. Please have your son (or yourself if this is the players email) bring $18.00 on Monday to cover the cost of the t-shirt and snacks for the season. Thanks in advance for your support!! We will also be handing out the flower order forms this week. This is a huge fundraiser for the baseball teams, especially since the district is not paying for anything but the umpires/buses, so please sell some flowers! Lastly, our booster club meeting will be held on Monday, March 29th at 7:00. I realize that this is late notice but school is closed on the Monday (April 5) and we are unable to have our meeting that night. Please try to attend. We have a lot to discuss concerning our funds and filling the positions of the officers for next year. Thank you! Lori Helm
