In last week’s edition of The Times, FHHS soccer coach Tony Galietti very graciously thanked the FHHS Athletic Booster Club for its support of high school athletics.

On behalf of the Booster Club’s board of directors, I would like to thank Tony for his kind expression of appreciation. Tony went to the extent of naming the ABC board members, and unintentionally missed a couple, namely Richard Kuhlmann, and most notably our vice president and long-time ABC leader, Cyndi Dunham, which I hereby provide to make the list complete.

Given this opportunity to do so, I would like to add my personal immense appreciation to all of the ABC’s volunteers -- current and past board members as well as so many others who have contributed countless hours to helping the ABC do the work it does to support our athletic programs and our student athletes.

I would also like to take this opportunity to call out for help. Our board is in transition with several of us phasing off over the coming year. We need new blood. We encourage parents of underclassmen in particular to consider volunteering to help ensure that the good work of the ABC continues to be well guided and supported in the years ahead.

Anyone interested in getting involved is welcome to contact me at 480-205-6451 or markmcd@cox.net. Please step up.

Thanks again to all, and Go Falcons!
