Hey all you Gosling Fans!

Stand up and clap your hands! The football season is upon us, and the Friday night cheers are offered loud and clear. The enthusiasm of the students is contagious. All of the athletic games and meets throughout the year are great fun for everyone in the family. Soccer and volleyball are in now full swing, as is cross country. Cheerleaders and dancers are taking to the football and soccer fields. Athletes are everywhere.

The Watertown Athletic Booster Club is a major partner for the athletic programs at the Watertown High School. In recent years, the club has provided more than $40,000 dollars for things such as wrestling mats, football equiptment, pitching machines, transportation for meets and events, swimming timers, track training equipment as well as poms and uniforms for the cheer and dance teams. The Watertown Athletic Booster Club has helped to fund coaches requests, allowing Watertown athletes to train and compete to the best of their abilities.

In addition, Fitness and Training Center is now complete. The Watertown Optimist Club and the Watertown Athletic Booster Club have spearheaded this effort. The Watertown Athletic Booster Club donated over $30,000 to the project. The students at Watertown High School will benefit from the Fitness and Training Center for years to come; the Watertown Athletic Booster Club is proud to play an active role in making the center a reality.

I am the Membership Chair for the Watertown Athletic Booster Club, and am writing to ask parents of athletes to join the Booster Club in support of all athletes. We generate money in a number of different ways: Golf Outing, Gosling GO Cards, concession sales at games and meets, special events such as the Trivia Nite, Pick n Save Savers Club, Yard Sign sales, and also through membership drives. Joining the Watertown Athletic Booster Club would allow you to support your athlete financially, and also to get involved in fun activities surrounding the games if you'd like. All the proceeds from the Watertown Athletic Booster Club go directly to the athletic programs and senior scholarships. Our meetings are held the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the WHS Lecture Hall. All members are welcome to attend.

On behalf of all Watertown athletes, I thank you for your consideration and support. If you are interested in joining with other parents and members of the Watertown Athletic Booster Club, please fill out the enclosed membership form and mail it to me. There are several levels of support to choose from. We welcome your support.

Here's to another exciting year of Watertown High School Athletics!

Sincerely,
Sue Putra
