Huntington Booster Club Begins Membership Drive
The Huntington Booster Club is on a drive to register as many parents, alumni and supporters as it can over the coming weeks. The group, which supports Blue Devil athletics, is in the midst of a membership drive.
The annual family Booster Club membership fee is $20. Checks made payable to Huntington Booster Club, Inc., can be sent to the club at P.O. 2294, Huntington, New York 11743. (Include name, address, phone number, e-mail address.)
Membership does not require volunteering in any capacity. However, members are always welcome to become involved in the organization and participate in a way their personal schedules will allow.
A membership form can be downloaded from the Huntington School District's website (www.hufsd.edu). Click on the School Community link and then click on the Booster Club link to find the form.
The Booster Club works to promote and encourage sports for students, provide financial support for scholarships, purchase needed equipment, sponsor summer sports programs and provide refreshments at athletic events and sports awards nights.
This year's Booster Club is led by officers Tim Pillion (president), Denise Goldsmith (treasurer), Jodi Biernacki (recording secretary), Christine Beck (scholarships and fundraising), Pam Reilly (merchandising coordinator), Judy Weigold (summer camps), Steve Thompson (alumni coordinator), Christina Plant (events coordinator), Karen Dwyer (grants coordinator) and Nancy Forster (membership coordinator).
The Booster Club is hosting a fundraising golf outing and dinner on Monday, October 8 at Indian Hills Country Club. The event will honor retired Huntington physical education teacher and athletic coach Pete Sansiviero, a longtime district resident who is also a Huntington High School graduate.
A flyer containing golf outing details is available on the School Community/Booster Club pages of the Huntington School District website.
