FROM THE BOOSTER CLUB PRESIDENT  

Dear Parents:
I would first like to thank all parents and volunteers for supporting the Awty Rams Booster club last year. A large group of dedicated volunteers ensures the Booster Bistro is open daily at break offering a variety of snacks including fruit and home baked goods. The Bistro and Ram Shack are also open for home games as a service to our athletes and the visiting teams.

Coaches and parent volunteers make the annual Almost Olympics a successful, fun-filled evening of friendly competition, team trivia, skill and creativity between teams of Awty parents, and their friends. We have had a successful year and are looking forward to a very exciting 2007-2008.

The Awty Rams Booster Club is a non-profit volunteer organization composed of parents, coaches and others in the community who are interested in supporting Awty Athletics. Our mission is to support the athletes, their coaches, and the administration in order to allow Awty athletic teams to achieve their full potential and to promote a united spirit within the Awty athletic program. We do this through your membership, fundraisers, donations and dedicated volunteers.

In the recent years, the Awty Rams Booster Club has provided or committed to donating the following items for our athletes: athletic equipment for all sports, coaching reference materials, a soccer scoreboard, software scheduling programs, uniforms, lights for the soccer field, warm ups and T-shirts, weight training equipment, score table for basketball/volleyball, playground equipment for the Pre-School, parkas for the swim team, golf carts for the new facility, equipment for the bistro in the new facility, and mirrors for the new dance studio (partial contribution).

Awty Rams Booster Club is excited that we will have the challenge to provide our athletes with additional supplies and equipment to make the most of the new state-of-the-art athletic facility that will be slated for completion this school year.

The Awty Rams Booster Club is successful, quite simply, because of your generous donations, membership and parent volunteers. We need parents to help us continue our fine tradition in supporting our student athletes. As an additional benefit to volunteering, you get to work with some extremely dedicated and very talented people who know how to work hard and play even harder.

If you have any interest in volunteering or learning more about the Awty Rams Booster Club, please feel free to give me a call at 713-397-6548. Go Rams!!!!!

I hope you will join us in supporting our wonderful athletes during this coming year.
