Seat Renewals
The
Golden Panther Booster Club's 2009 membership drive is
underway! All 2008 GPBC members wishing to guarantee
renewal of their "luxury reserved stadium seats"
must inform the TDC. If you would like
to renew your seats please contact Kim Weir (trioofjags@aol.com)
or David Gray (graymatter@afo.net) and your information will be provided to the GPBC.
All
other "luxury stadium seating" will be reserved
on a "first come first serve" basis.
The GPBC is accepting
membership contributions online at www.neasegpbc.com.
The site is not quite ready but will be available in the
near future so check it regularly for online membership
information and processing.
Please remember to allocate your GPBC contribution to
football! Thanks for your support of the Panthers!
Volunteers
Needed
Game
Day Field Prep: If
you are interested in helping get the field/logo ready for
regular season games,
please contact Bobby Marvin at slm73@att.net.
The field painting is usually done 2 days before the game
depending on weather. We all want our field to
look good, so come out and join the fun, get a little green
and gold on your fingers!
Team
meals: If you
are interested in helping feed the team on Game Day
we need about 8 volunteers to help set up, serve and clean up.
Volunteers need to be in cafeteria
by 3:00 P.M.
If you are interested please email Kim Weir
trioofjags@aol.com
Apparel
& Concessions: Our apparel and concession areas
need volunteers for the regular season. Both of these
groups are very important to our fundraising efforts and our
game day presentation and are a great way to get involved with
the Nease Football family! Please e-mail Maria Cavanaugh
(apparel - cavmaria1@litestream.net)
and/or Janet Hartrim (concessions - jhartrim@bellsouth.net)
if interested.

Parents
Join
The Golden Panther Booster Club
As you may
or may not know we get ZERO
Dollars from the county to support Nease football.
When a stadium speaker goes out (and one did recently) we
must pay for it, when the fields need repair, we pay for it.
We pay for uniforms, balls, transportation...everything our
student athletes need to be successful. Our Nease
parents have recognized the importance of High School
athletics and every year we come close to 100% booster club
participation. We need to maintain that participation level
this coming year as well.
Please
join the GPBC - here is the form (Click
on
links-Page
1
and Page
2).
Be sure to designate "football" as the $$
recipient and your son's football fundraising team will be
credited.
Here's
another reason to join the GPBC. This year the
Athletic Department will charge each sport participant an
athletic use fee. It will be $50 for the first
participant in the first sport
and then less thereafter for each participant and/or sport.
A family having 2 children each participating in 2 sports
will be subject to 4 athletic use fees with the fees on a
graduated scale. If you join the GPBC, the booster
club WILL PAY ALL
ATHLETIC USE FEES.
Donovan's
Our new post game gathering place is
going to be Donovan's at Palencia. They
have given $1500.00 to be the spring game t-shirt sponsor
and to be an $800 stadium sign sponsor. They will stay
open late for our groups so show them your support and
patronage.
Communications
Sign Up
In
an effort to utilize all the latest technology for better
communications we are starting a sign up list for those who
want short updates by texts for last minute changes,
cancellations, etc. Send an email to the Sandra Marvin at
slm73@att.net and provide
your cell number to be included in a group text notification
system we are working on setting up. Watch here for
when it is activated.
Also
setting up a Twitter account for the same reasons.
Will post the information as it becomes available.
