From the DHS Bulldog boosters…

CELEBRATE WITH OUR STATE CHAMPIONS

The entire Decatur community is invited to a Championship Rally celebrating the 2016 AAA State Championship earned by the Boys Soccer team and for State wins in Track & Fiel

Decatur Boys Soccer won their first State Title since 2003, beating East Hall 3-2 in the State Final in Macon on May 12th.  Track athlete, Sam Ellis won the State Title for the 800 and 1600 meter runs.

How can you resist that face?? The Boosters write in…

The Decatur Bulldog Boosters would like to let the Decatur dog-loving and running communities know of the 11^th Annual Decatur Bulldog Boosters 5K “Run with the Dogs” on Saturday, January 9 at 9:00am. This run/walk event will begin and end in front of Decatur High School and traverse a scenic, if challenging, course. The event will again feature a single 5K race where runners and dog-owners can run with (or without) their dogs.  T-shirts, awards, and treats will be available to participants as well as a sporty “race”-kerchief for canine companions. All proceeds go to funding the uniforms, equipment, and awards for our student-athletes at the middle and high schools.  So come on out and run off a few of those Holiday calories with Decatur and its Dogs!

This will be the first race of the New Year in the City of Decatur’s 2016 Grand Slam Fitness Challenge and will serve as the award ceremony for those dedicated Team Decatur individuals who completed the Grand Slam last year!

Registration forms can be found on active.com, dhs.csdecatur.net/athletics/DBB.  Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/RWTD5k or Twitter @RWTD2014.

The DBB Bash is an adults-only evening of awesome food, fun music, silent auction and an all-around good time! The Decatur Bulldog Boosters is the single booster club for all sports at Renfroe Middle and Decatur High Schools. Since tax dollars cannot be spent on uniforms, equipment, and recognition awards, the DBB raises funds to meet these important needs of our student-athletes.

Tickets are $25 in advance ($35 at the door)

Terry Conway, the current Chair of the Renfroe Middle School/Decatur High School Bulldog Booster Club, writes in…

One of our fundraisers is Ad Sales. We contact local merchants/businesses/restaurants and sell ads in our football programs and the digital scoreboard. The DBB is the ONLY fundraising group for the RMS/DHS athletic department. The DBB will contact merchants in person or will be calling from a local area code. When contacting one of Decatur’s restaurant owners, one of our board members was shocked to learn that the owner had been contacted by someone else claiming to be raising money for the school athletics. Here is the email our fundraiser sent to me:

I sent XXXXX the ad sheet and they called me today and said someone else had asked for them to buy an ad, but it was from a 866 number. They did not buy one thank goodness. I called the number and they are a FRAUD. I acted like I was interested to get the scoop. They say they are selling poster ads for the basketball team. Varsity posters.com is their website. She said the school gets nothing and I asked her why she is representing herself as selling ads for the booster club. She got very mad and I was furious. The number [starts with] 866-510-**** and her name is Noel. Please spread the word.

I have also heard of calendars being solicited and the “sellers” using names of DHS faculty to try to authenticate who they are.
