Show your support, snag some pizza.
The Coupeville Booster Club is holding its annual membership meeting this Thursday, May 18 — the 43rd anniversary of Mt. St. Helen’s blowing its top — at 6:00 PM in the CHS commons.
Free pizza and drinks will be provided, with the focus on informing folks of what the club does, while offering newcomers a chance to join the organization.
The booster club provides financial support to Coupeville’s middle and high school sports programs, through things such as equipment purchases, scholarships, and athlete appreciation festivities.
Six $1,000 scholarships are annually awarded to graduating CHS senior athletes, while current athletes are helped with sports fees, roses for Senior Night events, and varsity letters.
The club has also aided the school’s athletic department with purchases including weight room equipment, a portable race clock for track and field, scoreboards, batting cages, and the painting of the high school gym.
The Wall of Fame in the CHS gym, which highlights league, district, and state accomplishments for Wolf teams dating back decades, became a reality thanks to a financial donation from the club.
The boosters are always looking for a few good volunteers to help the cause, and you can have your choice of committees coordinating action on the Penn Cove Mussel Festival, the club’s crab feed fundraiser, and the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, among others.
Or help out with doling out varsity letters, getting spiffy new duds for Wolf coaches, doing PR through Facebook and Instagram, or a billion other things.
All in the service of “providing additional opportunities for our athletes that wouldn’t exist otherwise.”
