Booster club to elect new board Tuesday


If you are ready to step up for middle and high school student athletes in Florence, circle Tuesday, June 14, on your calendar.

The Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club will hold a special membership meeting at 6:30 p.m. that day at the Siuslaw High School library to elect its board for the 2016-17 school year.

In recent years the booster club has funded uniforms, equipment, scoreboards and the like for middle school and high school athletic programs.

The SABC also supports the Ian Foster Scholarship Fiund, which raises money to cover participation fees for athletes. This school year, the club also provided two $1,000 scholarships for Vikings seniors.

The club also supports the Athlete of the Year reception, scheduled for Friday, June 3, and the Siuslaw High School Hall of Fame dinner, scheduled for Aug. 19 at the Three Rivers Resort Casino.

The club's biggest fundraiser, its annual auction, is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 20.

For more information, call Gina Castro Brandt at 541-997-4089.

Regular club meetings are held the last Monday of the month during the school year at the high school library.
