Booster club minutes LINK
FLNT Booster Club is a fun and laid back group all with the main goal of supporting the team and coaches. The time commitment is minimal (2-3 hours total in the winter months). Join us at a booster club meeting or feel free to reach out to the booster club to learn more. All are invited to attend. Parents from the boys and girls teams meet as one nordic booster club.
Donation of old equipment *If you have old skis or other equipment that you are not sure what to do with, the FLNT Booster Club is accepting donations for use by new and current skiers in the program. Email us at FLNT.boosterclub@gmail.com to provide info. about the equipment.
Fundraising efforts are key to help supplement the cost of being part of the team with ski passes and refreshments later in the year. We also help defer the costs of coaching fees and other costs that would otherwise be passed onto the athletes. It is important that all athletes take part in fundraising every year.
Heggies Pizza: Pizza Orders due date TBD.
Cub Foods: To be communicated soon!
