Now more than ever!

Recently announced budget shifts at Tippecanoe School Corporation have created an increased burden on the already-tight Harrison athletic budget.  In short, rising fuel and transportation costs are being passed on to the athletic department and will require upwards of $19,000 to be taken from the budget for the 2008-09 school year.  This change came without warning and was  communicated via email early last week, leaving the Harrison administration stunned and concerned about its affects on Harrison's athletes.

Mr. Jerry Galema (Athletic Director) addressed the Harrison Athletic Club Booster representative board last week.  After informing those present of the changes, the discussion focused on how the Booster Club could help offset these shifts.  It will now, more than ever, be up to the HABC to financially "fill the gaps" (now chasms!) between what we have and what the athletes need.

So, here's the rub:  We NEED many HABC members!  (unfortunately, as of right now, our membership is way down--we know everyone is feeling the pinch from the tank).  

Please consider joining the efforts of the Harrison Athletic Booster Club so that Harrison athletes can continue to be provided with the equipment and improvements they so deserve.
