Who are we?

The Hawk Booster Club is a group of parents, alumni, and friends who support Mount Rainier Lutheran High. Our mission is to promote the development and general welfare of MRLH, to promote involvement and interest in the school's activities, and to provide physical and financial support. There are no hard and fast rules about how to become a Booster. As a matter of fact, if you share this vision, you are already a Booster! Your level of involvement is up to you. Check out the "Join Today!" page on our website, and we'll get you plugged in.

Every spring, the Hawk Booster Club considers proposals for a Spring Service Project. Our purpose for supporting a service project each year is to look beyond our own needs at MRLH and to serve the broader community. Anyone who has a passion for a cause is welcome to ask for our help. Proposals are due by the January Booster meeting. When a cause is selected, the Boosters provide support in managing the service project through communication and soliciting of volunteers.

Finally, the Boosters assist the school through communication. Not only are we working behind the scenes, but we also want to bring others on board! We believe that communication helps to build our community by keeping people informed and encouraging them to be a part.

Announcements

• Boosters meet every third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 P.M. There will not be a meeting in June or July. Our August meeting will be on August 26th, the 4th Tuesday, but subsequent meetings will be on the third Tuesday.
• If you have not already done so, please fill out a volunteer survey found in the "Join Today" link and send it to Tracy Schlatter at schlatter@mindspring.com .
• The garden is planed but there is still a lot more to be done. We are in need of people who can water and weed over the summer. If you can help, let Kurt Scearce know kscearce@mrlh.org.
• Auction procurement is underway and we are looking for big ticket items like vacation rentals, sports tickets, rounds of golf, spa packages, etc.... Time to call in your "chits". If you have a business in mind that will donate items, Lynn Hallenberg can email you a form to fill out.
• Ad space in the fall and winter Sports Programs is selling NOW!! Sounds soon, but it goes to print before school starts in the fall. If you want to post a message to your athlete, Laurie Brigge com can email you a form to fill out.
• In anticipation of the coming year we are also stockpiling items for the concession stand. We are currently seeking Costco donations of: Canned pop, Kirkland nuts (individual packages), Kelloggs fruit snacks, candy bars, Gatorade, water bottles, Grandma's cookies, chips (50 count variety pack), and Air Heads. If you want to drop an item or two off at the school, Luke Syverson would be happy to take them off your hands. If you want to stock up over the summer or come across Costco coupons for any of these items, contact our concessions stand chiefs, John Lake and Kelly Hopkins. By the way, John and Kelly are still looking for a popcorn machine. They have found and then lost a few on Craigslist, because they don't have the funds to jump on it when it's available. If you want to help with the conquest of a popcorn machine, please contact John 318-1523 or Kelly 537-2605 directly.
• One year ends and already the next begins. Boosters are looking ahead to the New Student BBQ on August 28, but the kitchenette is a little sparse and could use a few donated items to handle the crowd. We need two or three BBQ grill sets and several pairs of salad tongs. This BBQ is a big endeavor and our grill masters would love a few more volunteers to help set up, keep the buffet stocked, and clean up afterwards. Contact Bruce and Jolene Cassal, Greg and Debi Davis, or Paul Acuna if you're in.
• The fall and winter sports seasons bring two fundraisers that benefit businesses and families. You have already heard that your business can buy ad space in the fall and winter Sports Programs, but did you know that we also "sell" season tickets to home games? Hawk Club passes for the 2008-2009 school year are on sale now. Contact Angela Wolf if you would like to know more about the Hawk Club.
• Obviously, no one person can accomplish all the wants and wishes expressed in this newsletter. That's what makes the Booster Club so great! As each individual plays the part that fits the best, the club moves forward as a whole. Together we are building a dynamic school community one event at a time. Until then, I hope everyone has a fantastic summer break filled with every good thing.
