2010 Fund Raising

One of the things I love most about the track & field team is that everyone is welcome, accepted and there are no financial commitments required to be on the team. Anyone who has a desire and is willing to do the work is encouraged to join the team. We are different in that aspect and it is a GOOD difference.

However, funding the team is still necessary and, do I need to say it, the FUSD isn't in a position to help out much.

We have quite a few financial needs (and wants) this year. The #1 item is always entry fees for the invitational meets we traditionally compete in. After that, we have committed to purchasing our own throwers cage. This will allow our throwers to complete their MVAL competitions in one day like the rest of the team (they have had to throw discus at a borrowed facility on one day then throw shot at TAK during the actual meet). We are also looking to purchase our own starting blocks as well as buying new team uniforms.

It all adds up to a lot of money so fund raising is going to start now! The following has been approved and is in the works as we speak. Please MARK YOUR CALENDAR'S and do what you can to help with the fund raising efforts.

Husky Challenge Postcards - (Starts very soon) Everyone should know how this works but I will give you a quick run-down in case you are new or have forgotten. Each member of the team will be given 5 postcards asking for cash donations. Fill them out with the name and address of friends, neighbors and/or relatives then return to Coach Ben. We will place postage on the cards and mail them. It is simple and there is no pressure. We encourage EVERYONE to provide just 5 names because if only 2 people of the 5 postcards mailed sends in $10 checks, it is well worth it to the team. (just ask for more cards if you need them)

Eat at Rubios (Fresh Mexican Grill) - (Monday, March 1st) Everyone will be given flyers to pass out. They should go to friends, teachers, neighbors, grocery store clerks, people at work, basically - - anyone & everyone. This flyer encourages people to eat at Rubio's (located at Pacific Commons, near Lowes) between 5pm - 9pm. The team will get 20% of all the money spent at Rubio's. The flyer MUST BE PRESENTED at the time of purchase.

Used book collection/recycle - (March 1st - April 30th) This will be an ongoing collection for 2 months. We will place collection bins near the office and student center as well as at all MVAL meets held at TAK. All books will be sold to an online collection source or to half price books on a rotating basis.

Eat at Sweet Tomatoes - (Thursday, April 8th) same info as "Rubio's" and again, the flyer MUST BE PRESENTED at the time of purchase.

Spaghetti Feed & Raffle - (Friday, April 30th) Team members will be asked to sell meal tickets. We will serve the standard, spaghetti w/sauce, bread, salad & drinks. Desert will be sold separately. Raffle tickets will be sold for prizes collected. (we are already looking for raffle prizes so any help with this is appreciated)

MORE INFO WILL BE COMING . . . keep checking the Blog for updates and/or e-mail's from me (joyce taylor)

Good Job!

Well done on a great 2008 season. We saw many school records fall, PRs, and a great postseason. Both Boys and Girls Varsity finished with a 4-2 record. That is the best boys varsity record in many years. Thanks for working so hard and contributing to this team. It is really paying off and will continue to pay off for years to come. See you next year for those returning and good luck to those of you who are graduating!

CONGRATS!!

Congratulations to Beth Raymond for breaking the school 1600 record. She also broke the 3200 record at Hampton Phillips. Keep up the good work.
