Athletic Booster Club Wants You By Alana English

 Wolverine Parents and Fans,

                  Through membership fees and various fundraising events, the WHS Athletic Booster Club contributed more than $14,500 in support of WHS Athletic programs last year. None of that would have been possible without the support of our members, volunteers and the community as a whole. Where do the funds go?  The school district charges each school for the use of the athletic buses used to transport our Wolverine athletes to their various events and competitions. The booster club pays the travel expenses on behalf of the athletic department. Last year’s travel expenses totaled $9,568. The booster club also has a long-standing tradition of providing letterman (Block-W) jackets at no cost to all eligible senior athletes. Last year, jackets were provided for 21 athletes at a cost of $2572.  Additional funds were provided to assist in the purchase of girls basketball uniforms and equipment for girls and boys spring sports.

Our annual WHS Athletic Booster Club membership drive is now underway, and I would like to invite you to join. In addition to supporting the athletic programs, membership also has its advantages. Most membership levels include free admission to all regular season home athletic events for each listed member. With 40 or more home events this year the total cost of admission to all events would be approximately $200 per person. An individual member can save over $100 per year on admission costs. For families, the savings is even greater!!

 If you would like to join, please complete an application form (see page 6 of this newsletter) and return it with payment to the address shown. Your membership cards will be mailed or delivered upon receipt.

On behalf of the Booster Club officers, the WHS Athletic department and all the Wolverine athletes, I would like to say THANK YOU for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at a Wolverine athletic event soon!! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 803-694-2475 or email whs_booster@charter.net.

Sincerely,

Wayne Boulware

Booster Club President
