DEAR BOOSTER  


Dear Booster,
Many years ago I was involved with the booster club when my children were in school and recently I approached by a booster club member from the local high school and asked to become a member. As my children are all grown I questioned why I would want to join. Can you help me to better understand why I should become a member of the local high school booster club?
Veronica A.
San Diego, CA

Dear Veronica,
Congratulations on two counts. First for taking the time when your children were in school to volunteer and support the booster club and second, for being contacted by your local high school booster club and asked to become a member again. Today probably more than when your children were in school you are a greater asset for a booster club. Your past experience and the fact that you can provide a non-biased level of support and involvement is something that all booster clubs can benefit from. Booster clubs benefit more than just the participants of the programs they support, booster clubs also provide value to our schools and communities. Booster clubs provide volunteer support for helping with projects such as cleaning up parks and ballfields, providing new equipment and improving facilities. Membership with the local high school booster club will provide you with opportunities to help make a difference in the lives of kids throughout your community. Something we can all benefit from.

Send us your Dear Booster.... article and we will select one each month to share with the readers of Booster Trends. To submit your email send to: dearbooster@boostercentral.org.

BOOSTER TIPS  


Clearly Outline Job Descriptions:

Booster Clubs must have a clear understanding of the responsibilities and job descriptions for each position including sub-committee or co-chair positions.

A clear definition will increase the likelihood of a new volunteer stepping into the position come elections as well as helping to better organize the group throughout the year.

Idea: Put duties and responsibilities of each club position on the back of nomination forms as well as publishing for distribution at your first meeting of the start of each year or season.


Booster Basic:

- Schedule activities designed to do nothing more than get to know your supporters and have some fun.



SEEKING NATIONWIDE SUPPORT
