Boomer Boosters

Welcome to the Boomer Booster Club Website!

General Meetings at Toledo Jr/Sr High School, Friday mornings at 7:00 in media center.

No Booster meeting tomorrow // no school tomorrow (January 20) due to weather.

We would love to see you there! Come and support Boomer Athletics!!!!

It's hard to believe that another booster club year has come and gone. Time seems to fly when you're having fun! As this is my last article as club president, I want to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to serve this past year.

I want to personally thank the Executive Board. Without their support I could not have done my job. Thank you to the Toledo High School staff, the wonderful people that make up our Boomer Booster family and of course, our local community sponsors. Above all I want to thank Cora Warfield, Amy Purdom and Nic Dahl, these individuals are truly the back bone of this organization they continue to serve year after year without the recognition they most certainly deserve.

Looking back over the past year, the Executive Board began by sharing a common goal. Much like those who served before us, it was our hope that at the end of our terms we would leave our elected offices knowing the booster club was in a better place than when we arrived. I'm extremely pleased to announce that we accomplished our goal. What a great year it was. Currently the booster clubs revenues are at an all time high and thanks to the voters of Lincoln County , our students will be enjoying the state of the arts sports facilities for generations to come.

In closing, I'm sure you will continue to show your support for our newly elected officers and hopefully with your help, they will continue to raise the bar.

What a great day to be a Boomer.

Welcome to the new school year

2011-2012

Dear Boomer supporters ,

On behalf of the entire Toledo Boomer Booster Club, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your family for the upcoming 2011-2012 school year. We are excited about all the new construction and improvements that's going on this summer. As you know, September marks the opening of our new athletic complex. These new beautiful facilities will be the home of the Toledo Boomers for years to come. I'm certain that we will all take tremendous pride in what we have accomplished. It is also my hope that every time we visit our new track, sports fields, and gymnasium, we thank those who have provided us with this great opportunity.

There have been many changes in the past few months, but the most important things here at Toledo High school remain the same. Such as friendship, values instilled by coaches, knowledge acquired from teachers and so much more. As you know, last year our student athletes were able to achieve most of their goals, but none of those accomplishments would have been realized without your valued and generous support. Because of your hard work, commitment, contributions and attendance at sporting events, we were able to show our students, coaches, administration, community and visitors that we are extremely proud of our student athletes and that we recognize their hard work on and off the field.

However, due to the social times in which we live, your booster club is more challenged today that any time in the past. Tight school budgets and outside demands for donor dollars have left our school athletic department in severe need of booster club donations. Last year your booster club pledged approximately$ 20,000 dollars in support of sports programs and infrastructural improvements. So we ask that you please consider joining our organization. Become a member, and you will be in the “loop” of what is going on. Check our website; get on our e-mail list for up-dates. Be part of the action by volunteering to help out. It's a great time to be a Boomer.

The Purpose of the

Boomer Booster Club

As President of the Boomer Booster Club, it is my pleasure to extend a personal invitation to you to become a member of our great organization. The Boomer Booster Club is a volunteer organization established to promote excellence, pride, and good sportsmanship among the student body and the community. Our primary purpose is to get students, parents, coaching staff and the community involved in programs to improve Toledo High School sports. Our organization also allows families and schools to merge their efforts in building an athletic program that can excel at any level.

The athletic programs in our school offers all students an outstanding opportunity. Academic excellence, sportsmanship, competition and personal improvement are the common goals of the school's administration, coaching staff and your Boomer Booster Club.

Fund raising is a major and necessary part of what we do. One hundred percent of all funds raised are returned in support of our student athletes. The growth and success of our organization depends greatly on the success of fund raising abilities. Funding is necessary to purchase a variety of items not covered in our school budget. We raise funds though membership, concessions, the sale of business banners, our annual Golf for Kids Tournament and other events. Every year the Boomer Booster club provides thousands of dollars to Toledo area athletic programs and our organization has proven to be a strong buffer during these volatile economic times.

We rely on the energy and imagination of our parents and community to support the goals of the booster club. The sense of accomplishment you receive by becoming a member of this great organization will last a lifetime.

Please feel free to come and join us. Our meetings are at 7:00 am each Friday in the Media Center at the Toledo High School . For additional information, or to download a membership application, please visit our website at www.toledoboosters.com

Sincerely,

Jerry Pryor

President, Boomer Booster Club

Welcome to the New Year .... 2011

I would like to begin by thanking everyone for the trust you have placed in me as your president. I am excited about the opportunity and promise to serve this organization to the best of my ability. I would also like to join our new executive board and welcome everyone to this new year at Toledo High School, home of the Boomers.

As this new year begins, we are excited about our future and anticipate great things from our student athletes. Although we have made great strides in recent months, many of the challenges we faced last year are still with us. What progress we have made this past year is due largely to our ability and willingness to work together as an organization.

To the members who have been unable to attend meetings this past year, let me catch you up. Last year, due to school budget short falls, our booster club found it necessary to redefine our financial role in support of athletics. Beginning last year and for the first time in the history of this organization, our booster club pledged $9,000.00 to Toledo High School. That amount represents 75% of the actual cost to our school for scholarships and referees. For the upcoming year we have agreed to an increse of 11% or $10,000.00. The bottom line is, like it or not, we are now a funding arm for athletics at Toledo High School.

To support this new responisibility the booster club needs you, the parents of Toledo High School students. Your financial support is more crucial today than anytime in the past. If we are to continue our sports programs into the future, it is vital we have your financial support today. We can accomplish far more united than divided.

We encourage you to become an active member. We value your opinions, ideas and suggestions. We meet each Friday at 7:00 am at the Toledo High School. Hope to see you ;there.

Sincerely,

Jerry Pryor
