Berkeley Athletic Fund End of Year General Membership Meeting, 
Wednesday, June 2nd, 7:00 pm - Plan to attend!
Location:  BHS Athletic Director's Office (next to Donahue Gym -- 
campus entrance at Milvia and Bancroft)

The school year is rapidly coming to a close. The Berkeley Athletic 
Fund (BAF) will be holding one last general membership meeting on 
Wednesday, June 2nd, at 7:30 pm. We checked the school event calendar 
and chose this date in hopes of avoiding conflicts with other end of 
school activities taking place. BAF is the parent/community support 
group for Berkeley High's large and successful athletic program.

The meeting will be held at the Athletic Director's office, newly moved 
to the BOC building. The BOC building is next to the Donahue gym, and 
used to be the attendance office. It is also where tickets are sold to 
sports events.

In spite of the general budget crisis facing public education, this has 
been a good year for the Berkeley  High School athletic program and for 
the Berkeley Athletic Fund.

  We have benefited from excellent leadership provided by Kristin 
Glenchur, our new Athletic Director. Long time members have joined with 
new members to carry out many successful activities - a fall 
fund-raising letter, the most successful celebrity waiter luncheon yet, 
new parking lot revenues, a strong BAF presence at the ribbon-cutting 
ceremony and Solano stroll.

But we can't rest on our laurels - in fact we need to be prepared to 
raise more funds and provide more support in the coming year(s) since 
public education continues to face hard times financially, which is 
bound to have an impact on the athletic program.

So please plan to attend this meeting and find out how you can help BAF 
in the coming year. This will also be a good meeting for parents of 
incoming 8th graders to attend - we will have information about how 
their child gets involved with the athletic program. If you know 
parents of incoming 8th graders, please invite them to the meeting.
