Join the Booster Club

Booster club volunteers work concessions at Mud Mountain XII

To the Parents of our Edwardsville Cross-Country Athletes:
Now that the “race” of a new school year and cross-country season has begun, we’d like you to consider including the Edwardsville Cross Country Booster Club activities among your “to do” list. Our booster club program has been fortunate to include many active parents in the past; we need your help to sustain our program growth.

Our activities include the annual Mud Mountain 5K, our main fund raiser (see video of race below), as well as providing volunteers for our middle school and high school home races.


Mud Mountain XII • August 11, 2007

We also provide meals to our high school athletes at away meets (great grilled burgers and ‘dogs), sell t-shirts at home meets and ensure the course is ready for competition. At the end of the season, we coordinate the banquet activities. In addition, we provide a very enthusiastic fan base for all of our kids at our home and away competitions!

Membership in the Edwardsville Cross-County Booster Club is $10/Individual or $20/Family. The fee offsets club mailing costs and provides money for the booster club to spend on our athletes. For a membership form, or for more information, email tom@tomatwood.net, and it will be sent to you.

We have three booster club meetings scheduled for the upcoming season Wednesday, September 19, Wednesday, October 3, and Wednesday, October 17. The meetings begin at 7:00pm and will be held at Edwardsville High School in room A249.

Our home meets require volunteers for set-up crew, concession sales, chute workers, t-shirt sales, and clean-up crew. Attached is a listing of our home meets for the middle schools and high school. Please review the dates and let us know when and how you can help us by emailing Val Sweatt at vls2262@sbcglobal.net.

We’d like to establish the following volunteer committees: Mud Mountain, Concessions, Home Meet Activities, and Banquet (EHS banquet is scheduled for Thursday, November 8). Please contact Diana Speicher at speicher@charter.net if you’d like to be a committee member or a committee chairperson.

On behalf of the Edwardsville Cross County Booster Club, thank you for your help.

Signed,

Roger & Sue Mueller, President
