Welcome –Our goal this year was to create a stronger organization,
and reestablish bylaws and booster structure. The name of
“The 12 tH Man” was adopted for the Francis Howell Football
Boosters. Tonight’s purpose is to establish our core officer group
to be introduced at the banquet.
Accomplishments - Some of the 12th Man’s tangible
accomplishments were:
- New Varsity
Uniforms
- Video
Equipment
- DVD Tower
and Color Printer
- Varsity
Team Meals
- Friday
morning breakfasts
Some of the non-tangible accomplishments have been creating goals
and traditions to make our team stronger such as:
-
Organizational structure
-
Communication improvements and an updated website
Our freshman team won their conference, and their parents created a
bond by having team meals and family events to make the unit
stronger and open up lines of communication. Congratulations!
Goals – Some of our goals for next year are:
- Shed for
housing football equipment
- Fundraising
structure
- Continuing
to improve communication and involvement in the football
organization. We hope to use the website to maintain booster lists.
This would make communication quicker and easier – thank you to the
Hizer family for all of their hard work.
- Concessions
– we need to establish best practices in on concession area. We
recreated the wheel this year and thank you to the Fauser family
for taking over the ordering and establishing framework for next
year.
Questions / Comments / Concerns from members

the ability to co-chair positions or committees.
- Discussed
the importance of concession commitment, and the importance of
sharing the knowledge among several parents of players in different
grade levels.

website.
