AHS Baseball Booster Club Purpose The AHS Booster Club supports the Arapahoe High School Baseball program in several ways. Due to district athletic budgets being almost non-existent, it is imperative that our Booster Club (the parents) support our baseball program. The sole purpose of our Booster Club is to support our players and coaches in the development of our baseball program at Arapahoe High School. The AHS Baseball Booster Club has several key responsibilities that support this purpose. This includes, yet is not limited to: volunteer assistance with field maintenance/upgrades, merchandise sales, concession sales and most importantly…Fund Raising. A scholarship program is also in place for the summer season.

Continuous Feedback As mentioned last week, our 2013 Summer Baseball planning has begun. The Arapahoe Baseball Booster Board is reaching out to you so we can shape the program to best meet the needs and expectations of the members. Over the next month or so, the “club team” recruiting will begin in earnest and we want to better define the Arapahoe program so you can make a decision that best fits the needs of your player. Please take a moment to complete a 10 question confidential survey that will help guide the Board. If you wish additional conversation, please identify yourself on question #10 with your phone number and I will be happy to call you. We would also like to hear from the graduating Seniors on your thoughts. To launch the survey (Surveymonkey), click on the link below. Thank you, Gordy Nevers
