The Touchdown Club met on the sidewalk in front of DaLonzo's Restaurant this past Sunday. It was announced that due to the Alumni Activity's insistence on charging them a fee there will not be a booth in place for the All-Class Reunion. However, members of the Touchdown Club isn't letting that daunt their fund raising activities to raise money for the student athletes.
Head Football Coach Dave Skinner is once again organizing a golf scramble to be held at Cedar Hills Golf Club. The golf event will be held Friday, June 11. Presently Coach Skinner is seeking sponsors. Anyone interested in sponsoring part of the event is asked to contact the coach at 330-532-5958. Donations are also being accepted and can be mailed to Skinner at 1010 Torrence Dr., Wellsville, OH 43968. Make checks payable to Wellsville Touchdown Club.
Proceeds from the event go to support the WHS football program purchasing new equipment or reconditioning reused equipment to insure they are safe to use. The safety of each and every player is their top priority.
New items available for sale from the club are tee-shirts with the new tiger paw emblem that is on the same as the large magnetic car emblems. The shirts were designed by Jeff Campbell of Campbell Signs. The emblem is pictured above. The car magnets are still available. Tee-shirt sizes from toddler on up to 3X are available. Also available this year is tiger paw stickers about the size of a medium grapefruit. Any of the items are available from any member of the Touchdown Club.
Tag Day Saturday is tomorrow, May 29 from 9 A.M. to noon. Donations can be made at either the Rt. 39/Aten Ave. intersection or the Rt. 45/Wells Ave. intersection. Football players will be on hand at each location. Your help is greatly appreciated.
On Friday, June 11 & Saturday, June 12, the team will be having a hot dog sale in the parking lot at the Calcutta Giant Eagle. The dogs will be cooked on the grill to perfection.
Coach Skinner announced that conditioning will be held three evenings a week "just as soon as school is out". Conditioning will be held at Nicholson Stadium Monday, Tuesday & Fridays from 5 to 7 P.M.

It is too bad the Alumni Committee has to charge school related groups a fee to have a booth. I can see other groups but not groups or organizations that are trying to raise funds to help our kids. Shame on them !
Just Wondering - We lost your comment somewhere along the line but if someone wanted to set up in front of DaLonzos with Nicks permission we think it would be okay. From our understanding the Alumni Assoc. domain only goes to 5th St. as far as designating space for vendors. We assume you means DaLonzos.
Normally we wouldn't advocate butting heads with the good folks involved with the Alumni Assoc. However, in this case since it's for the kids at WHS we have to say go for it. Both the Alumni & Touchdown Club members are volunteers working for worthy goals.
