Volunteers are essential to many of the activities at Junction City High School, and one in particular is at risk of dissolution.

Gennifer Booth, Booster Club President and head volleyball coach, said that her time as president is coming to an end.

“What we’re really looking for in the booster club is actually new people to take over – I’ve been at it for about 8 years now and it’s time to move on,” said Booth.

With Booth deciding to move on this leaves the fate of the booster club unknown.

“If we don’t have those volunteers, the booster club will probably be dissolved by the end of this season…and I understand you know the community runs thin – everyone asks everyone to do something – but this is a great program that supplements what we need in athletics for our coaches and our students,” said Booth.

Concerning as it may be, Booth is optimistic that someone will step up and take over.

“I would hope that we could get a good group that would come in and want to take over,” said Booth.

The hunt for new leadership in the booster club is active, but for now they are focusing on increasing membership.

Booth added that general family memberships are $30, and they are also working to sell advertisements to be promoted during football and basketball games.

Only time will tell if new volunteers will step up and take over duties for the booster club; which begs the question, how heavily do JCHS activities rely on the booster club, and is it truly a “big loss”?
