Meeting coming up

2009-06-13T13:58:00.001-07:00

For those of you who want to "help out but not interested in holding a Board position" THAT'S O.K.!! We have tons of opportunities - big and little. And all are just as important to us (and the student athletes!). We have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow (6/14) at 7pm in the back room of Captain Ron's. Please know that you are welcome to attend. If you're not able to come, no problem. Just email, Facebook or call me and let me know what area you might want to help in and how much time you have to give. We are a fun group :-) and the most important thing is our purpose, our goal, our mission:

"Our mission is to promote athletic excellence, positive community image, and competitive programs by providing financial assistance and support to our student athletes, coaching staffs and athletic department through our fundraising and community donation programs. "

New Officers

2009-06-01T16:31:00.000-07:00

Booster Club supporters all the teams at Sherwood High School and we really do some great things! Considering getting involved!!

2008-11-19T16:00:00.000-08:00

If you don't have plans this Friday (or even if you do!) consider making the trip South with us to Thurston High School in Springfield, OR for the 3rd round playoff game. Our Football team is ranked #3 in the State and Thurston is ranked #2. It is expected to be a great matchup! Bring rain gear as it's expected to rain. It will be worth the trip though!! Sherwood travels well so we'll have lots of fun. GO BOWMEN!!!

Great way to help the Booster Club raise money while doing your Holiday shopping!

Have you heard of eScrip Online Mall? It's the greatest thing! With contributions as high as 16% on the eScrip Online Mall, the fundraising potential is nearly limitless.

What makes the Online Mall so great?

• Earn up to 16% from purchases at over 1,000 name brand merchants

• Shop from the same websites you know and trust

• Pay exactly the same price as you normally would

You can get to eScrip Online Mall by going to http://www.sherwoodboosterclub.com/ or http://www.shopping.escrip.com/. To make it even easier, you can download AutoEarn from either of those websites. AutoEarn is a free software program that generates contributions on purchases at stores you know and trust. You pay exactly the same as you would normally shopping online but also generate contributions through the eScrip Online Mall. AutoEarn is “always-on” when you start up your PC and helps you contribute in case you forget to visit http://www.shopping.escrip.com/ before going to one of your favoriate stores.

It is expected that $143 BILLION will be spent on online shopping in 2008. Help us get a percentage of this without it costing you anything. We appreciate your support! THANKS!

Here's your chance! Don't do it for me - do it for the kids!

2008-11-13T16:48:00.000-08:00

If you've been wanting to get involved with the SHS Booster Club but didn't feel like you had the time to dedicate to a board position - here's your chance! I have LOTS of opportunities for volunteers to help me with various fundraising events and promotions that are coming up. For example: Girls Night Out - I need help organizing, promoting, putting together gift bags, securing guest speaker (professional shopper from Nordstroms), secure location, etc... Men's Night Out - I need help securing a Brew Master from a local brewery and a cigar expert, secure location, organizing, promoting, putting together "manly" gift bags, etc... Football 101 - coordinate with coach, organize, put together hand-out material, secure location (probably the high school), etc... Chili Cook-off - I need help securing location (probably the high school), coordinating with contestants, promoting, securing judges, etc...

As you can see there are lots of opportunities. Big and little. I don't care if you only have one hour to give - it will help and much very much appreciated! Contact me at fundraising@sherwoodboosterclub.com to let me know what sounds the most appealing to you! THANKS!

All new!

2008-11-09T10:10:00.000-08:00

We have some new and exciting things coming up! We are planning a Ladies Night Out for February and a Men's Night Out for March (to coinicide with March Madness Sweet 16). These are different from any events that we've held in the past and I think they will be well received. Both nights will include some really nice surprises appropriate for each gender. We do need some help planning both events. You don't have to dedicate a lot of time. Many hands make light work. So even if you only have time to help with one little thing - that alone is a BIG help! Recruit a friend to help with you. The two of you can share a task. Please email fundraising@sherwoodboosterclub.com if you are able to help or even just to share an idea, thought or suggestion. Thanks!

The auction was a lot of fun. Due to the economy though, we didn't make as much as we have in years past. However, we have a fun, easy and free fundraiser that we are doing right now. It only goes until November 11. Go to http://www.insiderpages.com/fundraisers/Sherwood-High-School-Booster-Club and write some reviews of local businesses. The businesses don't have to be local to Sherwood - they can be from another town or even another state. In order to count towards our fundraiser though, they can't be chains.

2008 Booster Club Oktoberfest Auction lots of fun!

2008-10-19T13:29:00.000-07:00

The auction was last night and I think it was success. Robin's committee did a great job. I think the "spoof" video that David Dahle put together with Mark Kirby acting as Coach Law was hilarious! Great way to get the evening started. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we are so appreciative of everyone's generosity - especially in this economy. Thank you to all the local businesses and families who donated items and thank you to everyone who bid.

Sherwood Student-Athletes are the best!

2008-10-10T17:10:00.000-07:00

I had a handful of student-athletes at my house today filming "segments" for a video that we'll show at the Booster Club Auction (click here to purchase tickets online). We have some really fun and really funny kids! Thank you, thank you to Brittany Morales who really "took one for the team" when she pulled on the rain gear that the BC purchased for Girls' Golf and let Megan Shields spray her with a hose. Thanks also to Nick Erwin (football, basketball and baseball), Tanner Steffens (football and basketball) and Michelle Oenning (volleyball and softball). I think this video is going to turn out great!!

Also, a quick reminder that the last day to purchase tickets for the auction is Tuesday, October 14. Our theme is Oktoberfest this year and I really think it will be another big hit! You won't want to miss it!

Another FREE MONEY fundraiser!!

2008-10-09T17:44:00.000-07:00

I just signed us up today for a fundraiser through Insider Pages. Throughout the fundraising period, from 10/22/08 - 11/11/08, members and supporters are encouraged to the visit
http://www.insiderpages.com/fundraisers/Sherwood-High-School-Booster-Club and write reviews on local businesses recently visited. For every qualifying review, Insider Pages will make a donation to Sherwood High School Booster Club. The fundraiser doesn't start until October 22 so wait until that date before you write any reviews. You can go on now though to get signed up then on October 22 you'll be all ready to go! I'll do another post to remind everyone.

Exciting things are coming!

2008-10-08T07:22:00.001-07:00

We had our board meeting Sunday night and there are some exciting things coming! We talked about a Black Out Night at a basketball game (maybe boys AND girls). We (the booster club) would sell black shirt (inexpensively in hopes that everyone will be able to get one) and also black "towels" to wave. Then we designate a game and everyone wears their black to that game. Our biggest goal on this isn't to make a lot of many but rather to just boost team and school spirit.

We also discussed the auction. Looks like we'll have another great auction this year! We're having a professional put together a video of "interviews" with coaches and athletes describing what the booster club means to them. We'll show this right after the live auction. Maybe your son or daughter will be interviewed so be sure to stick around to watch it!

Speaking of videos - we have some very exciting video things coming up that will be linked to our website. Will probably be next year so stay tuned!
