Be sure to turn in an order form (see Handouts at left) and check payable to "LAHS CC Booster Club". These items are all custom-ordered and printed / embroidered so we need to get the orders in.

Mandatory Parent Cross Country Booster Club Meeting - Wednesday, August 31, 2005 6:30 PM at Los Alamitos High School PAC Ice Cream Social for Cross Country Athletes held outside the PAC Did you know the first Cross Country meet is September 10? This sport hits the ground running (pun intended), so we need to get started before school starts. Each athlete needs at least one parent to attend the Kick-Off meeting. We will be introducing the program, collecting booster fees and uniform deposits, distributing uniforms and giving you the opportunity to order warmups and sweatshirts. Bring two separate checks payable to LAHS CC Booster Club. The first check for $40 is a uniform deposit that will be returned at the end of the season when your athlete’s uniform is turned in. The second check will be for program fees and optional apparel orders. The order form is available by clicking on "Handouts" on the left menu. We have a large program with nearly 100 athletes, and a very small Booster Club Board. We need you! We are looking for volunteers for the following: Pasta Party Hosts (starting Sept 9), Assistant Webmaster, Stat Keeper, Photographers, Banquet Committee, and Taste for Los Al Coordinator. We also need donations for meet day drinks and snacks, pasta parties and Silent Auction items. Signups will be at the meeting. Plan to be there! bring your checkbook, calendar, athlete and any questions you may have. We'll get you in and out as quickly as possible. Cross Country is a blast -- come support your child and the program. See you on the 31st! Taste for Los Al - October 15, 5:30 - 10 pm Thank you all for your support; XC parents are the best! Our Silent Auction was a success, thanks to the many parents who donated items and to Becky McAllister and Kathy Berger, who both put in many hours of work. We hope you had a great time at the 'party' and look forward to next year! Update - Last chance for orders Update - orders should be complete! Enjoy wearing your cool LosAl XC gear! We will make one more Cross Country clothing order - if you want to place an additional order, print out an order form (from the Handouts link on the left), and turn it in to Coach Howard no later than Friday, September 23. Attach a check for the correct amount, payable to "Los Al CC Boosters." The first order of sweatshirts, tshirts and hats have been distributed to the athletes.
