Albany sports fans are invited to attend the Athletic Booster Club’s annual ice cream supper next Monday, Aug. 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the Bank Park. 

The Albany Lion volleyball team, cross country team, cheerleaders, and football team will be introduced at the event, and the young girls cheer camp participants are expected to perform a variety of cheers and dance routines. 

High school athletes eat free of charge, while the hamburger meal costs $7 for the general public. 

Booster Club president Mindy Ary emphasized that families of high school athletes and coaches are asked to pay for their meals.

Ice cream will be served to everyone at no charge.

Serving will begin at 7:00 p.m., with the program to follow about 7:30 p.m.

Set-up Volunteers

Volunteers are needed to help set up for the event.

Ary said that parents and others can call Tisha Wilkins at 325-660-7443 to find out what needs to be done or they can sign up by accessing a link on the club’s Facebook page by going to facebook.com/albanyabc/.

Junior high parents are asked to volunteer along with high school families.

Yard Signs & T-Shirts

Ary reminded parents and athletes to bring money for their yard signs, as well as for t-shirts.

Yard signs for varsity athletes are $5, and the players can also buy t-shirts for same amount.

Family members and other fans will pay $15 for their t-shirts.

Souvenir items such as caps, water bottles, umbrellas, stadium seats, flip flops, and other products will be available after the football season starts from the “Spirit Shop” at the stadium.

Proceeds will be used to help fund various activities including decorating the Lions and Lady Lions locker rooms, lockers, and team buses. 

Parents and other fans can also sign up during the ice cream supper to help with club activities, such as serving as team parents for sports teams throughout the school year.

Ary said that not all sports have a team parent assigned as of Tuesday.

Once the school year is underway, Booster Club members meet on Monday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the high school library.

Fans of all school sports are invited to join.
