Thanks for everyone that helped this past weekend. With the Girls Soccer tournament this weekend we will need more of the same. We are fortunate to have some really dedicated people stepping up starting with Chris Meaux and a great supporting cast. This weekend would be a great time for others to step up.

Now for another topic:
One of the things I saw during the Boys Soccer Tournament last weekend was watching people from other schools walk up to the Wall of Champions to gaze at the Championship plaques.

That's Awesome!!

The wall of champions is a site to see. Standing inside the concession stand you get a straight on view. You get to watch all of the people (Indians and others) walk up and admire. Sure makes ya proud

The Boys Soccer tourney was a success. Weather came around and we received a lot of compliments on the stadium and the concessions. Had coaches asking if they could have their booster clubs call me for tips and advice. For those of you who do not know. There is a core group of people dedicated to making the BC and concessions stand a success. This group has been there for every event. This group was there for the entire soccer tourney 9:00am-8:00pm Thurs,Fri and Sat. An entirely volunteer group dedicated to helping the kids of PNG. Not just all sports at the high school level ,but middle school as well. Also during the football season the student activities kids had the opportunity to come work the concession stand and their group received a portion of the profits from the sales. If any of these groups read this - I say like I said when you worked "YOU ROCK

" Parents and faculty should be proud of these kids. I have never had people work for me as well as these kids do. You should be proud of yourself as well.

I welcome all who want to come out a help this be a success as a community. If you are interested just get in touch with a BC member or e-mail me at cmeaux1@gt.rr.com. If we all pitch in a little it ensures the success for years to come. "We win because the kids win"

we have around $50,000 in the building fund or close to it.i agree some that the booster club needs to do some things better but taking on concessions was a huge task.the prior boards have had there hands full getting it to the point it is today.the pngabc board is being taken over by the athletic secretary.she will keep it updated but it may be another month or so before its up and running.we are working on the email list and hope to get more updates out.any help is always appreciated.if anyone wants to get more involved we have 4 main committees-fundraising(mainly concessions),merchandise,golf tourney and membership.feel free to messsage me and ill put in contact with those committee heads.may 1st will be the start of the 4th year of the booster.in 3 years we have given over $100,000 to indian athletics(hs and jr high).that is an unreal number and the guys that work together and went to school together played a big part in this.the positives of the booster club far outweigh any negatives.there will be a club meeting in march that would be a good chance for anyone to bring up any issues and maybe volunteer to help us fix them.

I agree, those guys played a huge part in spearheading the idea.

Congrats to the new board members! I had the pleasure of volunteering in the CS a few times and I def plan on doing it more often! I haven't been on here much since FB season so if someone could email me when help is needed I'd be happy to help! Email address is tmccelvey@gmail.com.

Shhh ! Every body just thinks we work in there

. There is going to be a need for some help at the jv soccer tourney this .Fri. and Sat. I will email you. We have games on tues. And thurs. as well. The boys are having a track meet on Feb. 23rd also. I will email you and if you can help out anywhere in there - that would be great. The fact that all sports get some help from this is what makes it so great. I am trying to get the word out to as many people as I can. The more people that know what we are really about- the more people will want to join in.

You guys are really doing a great job on keeping us informed!

How can I sign up for the tract meet?

Will the BC send a email to us or do we show up and help?

NDNDAD · « **Reply #33 on:** January 26, 2012, 08:44:22 AM »

Thanks Bark, talked to Coach and Indian Relay will be a one day event on Feb 23rd. You can email me at cmeaux1@gt.rr.com and I will fill you in.
Thanks for volunteering. I think the more information the community has the more they will realize this is just a group trying to help all kids in all sports. The side benefit is getting to help the student activities groups as well by getting them to help during football season and sharing in the profits. Once the community sees this, I think we will get more volunteers which we desperately need. Get the word out to everyone you see....

Track meet update. The meet will begin at 3pm. We would appreciate any concession help. Tell all of your friends to come join the concession party. We will have lots of fun while supporting our kids.

Bark,
The Track Meet was Thursday.

NDNDAD · « **Reply #41 on:** February 24, 2012, 08:44:48 AM »

Wanted to give a shout out to all of you who took your time to come out and help make last night a success. The track meet was great and the concession stand was busy all night. Saw some new faces last night. Thank you. We are trying to build a community effort to help all of the kids in some way. Last night there were a couple of people that I know of that have kids that play football. They told me that they came out to help last night because their kids are on varsity and they can't work the Friday night games but wanted to be able to contribute. WAY TO GO !! That is what we are trying to promote. This is a very good start. We needed help with concessions and did not want track parents to have to miss their child or grandchild compete. So others stepped up to the plate. And they might have had a little fun while they were at it

And we were able to make a little money for all of the programs. Gotta love it.

Thanks to everyone for last nights effort........

You would think with all the alumini and businesses in this area their would be alot more than $50,000.00. Has anyone approached Huntsman, Total or BASF???

Was the original goal $300,000? If 1500 supporters gave just $200, it's done.

With a community of at least 5,000 families, and an alumni base of probably 20,000+, and some famous alumni with millions in the bank, and all the local businesses, you'd think it could be quickly raised.

I know, very disappointing!!!!! Hate to be negative, but this may sway Coach into thinking there is a lack of financial support for the program from the community and alumni. The fanbase support is there, but not the financial support. This fundraiser has been going on almost 2 years and just to raise 50,000.00 would be very disappointing to a coach trying to build a top notch program. I think Permian raised their funds in the matter of a couple months and theirs cost over a Million.

In defense of Port Neches and Groves residents, there is a large percentage of elderly and low income families. But there should still be enough to get it done.

From afar, it looks like Port Neches and Groves citizens and fans take what they have for granted. This is a special time. A level of excitement that has seldom existed since the 1970s.

The property is there, the plans are developed, the approval has been acquired, and the current athletics program has proven to be excellent and seemingly on the verge of something greater.

I guarantee there are 50 well off families and businesses that could contribute the balance almost overnight. Someone needs to find the right buttons to push.

I think the continued economic problems and the state's funding cuts took the focus off of new projects and put it on maintaining what we already have.

That said, it still isn't off the table. If someone got busy and led the charge, the drive would probably come up with the money. It's just a matter of someone doing the legwork.

Justafan · « **Reply #47 on:** March 23, 2012, 04:29:20 AM »

I agree with you both. I am afraid if Coach decides to leave the current administration would be content to go back to mediocre. There is a couple current board members who could careless if we have a winning program.

IndianFan · « **Reply #48 on:** March 23, 2012, 05:37:06 AM »

It seems like the Phillips family would be an obvious possibility. 'Bum and Wade Phillips Activity Center'. It would be a legacy to their football excellence, and benefit thousands of students, and the community for decades to come. Has anyone proposed the idea?

PORT NECHES-GROVES ISD
'BUM' AND WADE PHILLIPS
ALL PURPOSE FACILITY

Justafan · « **Reply #49 on:** March 23, 2012, 06:14:00 AM »

With Bum's ties to Nederland also would he be willing?
