LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome back and thank you to those of you who have been a part of our growth and successes in the past, and welcome to those families that are new to APSG for 2009-2010.

I would like to express my thanks to the immediate past president, Carlos Flys, for his dedication and the excellent job he did bringing us to where we are today, and to our immediate past treasurer, Jeanne Becker, for her commitment to our clubs success.

I would also like to acknowledge our current board, many of whom are continuing in volunteer positions from last year or taking on new roles on our board, as well as our Leadership team

We have a wonderful group of talented and sincere parents who want to make this a better place for our kids - I hope you will get to know them.

Also, it is a great time to thank Scott and Dona Barclay for the tremendous opportunities they have given to our club in the past, providing our families with so many volunteer opportunities

Competitive gymnastics and T & T is, no doubt, a costly sport, and fundraising gives us great opportunities to reduce these costs.

As we did last year, we again look forward to giving back to our families thousands of dollars in volunteer credits. We already have in place the Fry’s program cards, and are looking at additional ways to help our team families fundraise. If anyone has ideas for individual or team fundraising events feel free to bring them to our attention so we may look into them.

Your Booster Club still has openings in our Leadership Team - please consider being an active member. My role is to help make this a fun and successful year for us all as we work together to give our kids great opportunities, and I am here to try and help you with your concerns.

Rick Brewer

APSG President
