Booster News for August

First, I'd like to thank everyone who donated time, money or goods to the car wash. We made $270 and had a great time!

Here is what is going on for August:

JULY 31st -IMPORTANT and brief booster meeting. I urge you to be there at 7:30 on THURSDAY.

AUG 1st-12th -Strader's Mum Sale. You have an order form in your email to print. We will go over details at the meeting. 

AUG 4th-9th - GIFT CARD ORDERS. Use the drop box and envelopes or see Jackie at the beginning and end of practice. We have a free 1/2 hour private lesson with coach Erin available to the gymnast who's family has the highest dollar amount ordered. You will find the merchants at www.Scrippro.com. These gift cards come quick and it's actually nice having them to grocery shop or  purchase something you are planning to purchase anyway. **BONUS** $100 in Target gift cards will enter you in a drawing for a backpack filled with school supplies and a $50 gift card!!

AUG 12th- 19th- KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUT SALE this was a good sale for us for those who participated. We will try a week day delivery for those who could get orders for your workplace. DELIVERY will be August 21st during practice.

AUG 13th- DINE AT RAISIN' CANES on Stringtown Rd. They will donate a % to us for everyone who shows a flyer. The % depends on how many people participate. You can pick up a stack of flyers at the gym and pass them the family, friends and neighbors. Date is not confirmed, You will be notified asap. 

 I have a list of things needed and volunteers needed for the zumba-thon. I will have a sign up sheet at the gym beginning Thursday. It will be posted on here as well.

Lastly, the booster club will be writing Nate a check for August fees. It will result in a $10 discount from what you owe. He will send out an email to let you know what to pay him. It was in our hopes to be able to offset the cost more, but we are going to need to have more participation in raising more funds. Hopefully, the upcoming fundraisers will be better success. There is a bank statement hanging at the gym each month for all to see. We will go over financials at the meeting on Thursday. 

SAVE THE DATE

Like we said in the opening meeting, we can't guarantee dates and times exactly for the meets because we will be put into sessions by level, but I can give you some weekends to SAVE THE DATE FOR...

*Reminder...your fees you are paying Nate for include 6 regular season meets(including state meet).  We have 2 optional meets that are out of town.  Those fees will be separate if you choose to participate.  I will give you that information as soon as I get it so you can pay and register your gymnast in time.

***Nice thing about a blog is this will be archived for you!

OUR SPACE

In an effort to keep everyone informed and to keep emailing to a minimum, we have decided to create a space you can access at any time to give you details.  We will be doing calendar updates here and special announcements as well as trying to highlight our gymnasts!  We have such a great community feel and we want to encourage that by allowing all of you to get to know our athletes.  This blog will also be a place our booster club can make announcements as well.  Our emailing will now just highlight when a new post has been made.  

As we start competing, this will be a great way to "in-house" celebrate our successes.  As with everything, we will be developing this and finding new ways to use this great resource to keep us all connected and help our amazing gymnasts feel supported through their journey!
