President’s Message
August 2022
Hello Fellow Bobcats:
It’s been a while since we last did a newsletter, but we are on a roll now.
The BBAA gave $11,000 in scholarship to the class of 2022. We have also bought 2 soccer goals and new equipment for the drum line of our band. We also gave $500 in $25 awards to Benson Staff at their annual Welcome Back Breakfast and did a presentation on the history of Benson and the BBAA to the new teacher’s orientation. We obtained two new members with this presentation.
As a fund raiser we held our first annual corn hole tournament in the spring, along with continuing to manager the school concession stands. Anyone interested in assisting with any of our projects, please contact a board member listed in this newsletter.
We also held our annual dinner. This year’s dinner will be held on November 3rd, so mark your calendars. We’ll have more information on the dinner soon. We will be honoring two local citizens along with a live and silent auction, a 50/50 raffle and a delicious meal served by Benson High’s culinary class.
We have lost several Bobcats again this year, including long time science teacher – Jerry Vandermark
If you haven’t already, please pay your dues. They are only $10 a year and due in January,
Remember Once a Bobcat Always a Bobcat!!!
