I was originally contacted about a year ago by Dee Nelson of the CHS PTSA regarding efforts to start up (or reactivate) an Athletics Booster Club at Cabrillo High School with the goal of raising funds to help build a new stadium, new pool and lockerrooms/showers/restrooms and aid all the sport teams. Dee recently informed me that the Booster Club is "in business" and they were in need of assistance to get the word out.
Then I found this posting on the "CHS the First Six Classes" website (http://www.cabrillo67-72.com/) from Mr Webster with more details about the Athletics Booster Club. Want to continue to help the ol' Alma Mater? Join the Booster Club! Here's the latest:

Some of you may ask "What is in it for me?" That is a question that is asked when alumni are asked to contribute to scholarship funds, donate money to endow a chair in a particular department, raise money for construction projects, etc., at the university/college from which they graduated! My initial response is that the help you give to students, attracting more desirable faculty, aiding in a building program, etc., should be satisfaction enough. With that in mind, I would like to encourage you to contribute to the Cabrillo High School Athletics Booster Club to the fullest of your ability so that the Cabrillo spirit of excellence will continue to draw praise and recognition from around the State of California and beyond. Remember you are/were a part of that spirit of excellence during your years at Cabrillo!!!
