Hello Pantera Booster Club,

Thank you all for attending the tea in May.  It was a wonderful way to get to meet all the new girls and their parents.  Thanks to all the parents who worked hard to put the tea together, I hope we have started a new Pantera tradition. 

It doesn’t seem possible that summer is almost over and a new school year is about to begin.  Thanks to all the board members who have been working hard throughout the summer to get ready for the upcoming year.  I encourage all parents who haven’t already signed up to serve on a committee to get involved. It is a great way to meet the other parents and get to know the girls. We will have sign ups available at the family picnic.  (Saturday August 10th from 6-9 pm at Colleyville City Park - Kidsville).  Tilly Mack and the social officers have a fun time planned for all. We will have our first booster club meeting in the Pavilion area at 7 pm.  We will have lots of information to share with everyone about Dinner/Auction, Paw Points, Football Season, etc.  We are also trying our best to have a calendar ready that will cover the entire school year.

I can’t wait to watch the 2002/2003 Pantera Dance Team perform at Panther Pride Night.  The girls and Mrs. Cardwell have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming season.  I know they are as excited to start performing their new routines, as we are to see them.

Fall is always a busy time for the Panteras and their families, so mark your calendars for all the upcoming events.  Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns.

Looking forward to a GREAT Football Season!!!

Go Panteras!!!!!

WEBSITE REVAMP

As the new year begins, Marty and Cathy Williams are in the process of revamping the Pantera website.  We thank them for the time and talent they have contributed to this project.  The update website will be up and running soon.  We will notify you when it is available for viewing.

Also, most of Panteras receive the newsletter via email.  If your email changes, please inform me, Mike Mohler, at: cmohler@dellepro.com

This will assist me in keeping the newsletter distribution list updated and enable you to receiving the newsletter in a timely manner.

If you don’t have email but have access to a computer, you will also have the newsletter available on the Pantera website.

We saved many dollars last year by emailing vs. hard mailing newsletters.

If you receive a hard copy of the newsletter, normally it will arrive from 2 to 7 days later, depending if I am in town or not.  Please keep the Pantera Booster Club advised of any address changes.

$  $  $   Fundraising   $  $  $ 

Times up!  Ready or not, we’re off and running with fundraising plans for this year.  I’m really excited about the fundraisers this year.  The votes are in and with an overwhelming result to accept the assessment plan of paying a set amount of money instead of having so many fundraisers.  We only have a few fundraisers set for this year.  Our first fundraiser is a car wash on Saturday, August 24^th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at Chicken Express on Highway 26.  I will have a sign up sheets at the Family Picnic on Saturday.  See you there!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  My email address is Joyce.Mohler@UTSouthwestern.edu or home phone 817-267-5612 or work phone 214-648-4775.

August Birthdays

2002 Pantera Dinner Auction

Jubilation and exaltation!  As the ’02-’03 season begins, the Pantera family is preparing for the Annual Dinner Auction.  This year, our event will be held on Saturday, November 9^th at CHHS.

On August 8^th and 9^th, the Panteras went out by squads to canvas the metroplex and gather donations from local merchants.  On September 9^th, the Squad Blitz will be closed and the retail cost of each donated item will be tallied and recorded.  On September 10^th, the squad that harvested the highest total will be declared the winners!  Each girl on this squad will be rewarded individually with a “Spa-Nail Package”!  This award may be redeemed for a complete spa manicure or pedicure, or it may be applied to a salon service.

Thank you Panteras for your best efforts and charming representation of our team!

At the Pantera Family Picnic, each family was given an information sheet pertaining to the auction, as well

as the opportunity to sign up for the committee of your choice.  If you missed these sheets please give

us a call pronto!  The Annual Dinner Auction is the largest fundraising effort of the year and every Pantera family will participate to ensure the greatest success!  Let’s keep the momentum going to achieve and exceed our profit goal of 15,000 dollars!

Please call with any questions or to schedule a drop off for collected donations!

Bless you,
