Booster Club Provides Valuable Aid We all know only too well that money doesn't grow on trees! So where did all the money spent on various school activities throughout the year come from? A large part of Red Bank Regional's financial needs were met thanks to the fundraising ef- forts of the Booster Club. The Booster Club, which was comprised of con- cerned, hard-working members of the community, met on the third Tuesday of each month to discuss the school's needs and how they might be met. We try to get involved wherever we are needed, commented 1985- 86 President Mrs. Holly Kuhn, and they succeeded in doing so. The Booster Club aided in the purchase of such items as banners for the gym and varsity letters. In the past they contributed money towards the con- struction of the football concession stand and the purchase of an ice machine the school could not other- wise have afforded. The club funded the annual sports dinners held to honor school athletes and paid tui- tion for some of those athletes at sports camps. They made donations for homecoming and to the swim team. In addition to buying plaques which were awarded to students, the Booster Club offered several scholar- ships to seniors. One of the Booster Club's most visible efforts was the sale of tickets in the 50-50 contest at football games. Other sources of funds in- cluded bus trips, a home decorating party, and the profitable Chinese Auction held in lanuary. A primary fundraiser was the five dollar family membership fee in the club itself. This year the Booster Club remain- ed open to any person who wished to join. Mrs. Kuhn explained, We try to encourage members of the com- munity as well as families and parents of students to become involved and to support the Booster Club.
