Catawba Chiefs Begin 2006-07 Membership Drive

The Catawba College Chiefs Club began its 2006-2007 membership drive June1. Its goal for this coming year is 460 members, according to Gordon Kirkland, Chiefs Club Coordinator. "Our members support the competition of Catawba's 18 sports teams," Kirkland stated.

Without the Chiefs Club, our teams would not be in a position to compete at the current high level. Our membership totaled 449 in 2005-06 and we hope to increase that number this year. Over 400 male and female student athletes are involved in Catawba's 18 varsity sports. This number includes players, cheerleaders, student assistant coaches and team managers. Over 20 others are involved as student trainers. With a commitment of $150, Chiefs Club members have the option to purchase two Season Sports Tickets ($45 each) which includes tickets to our five home football games, all home basketball games, as well as home soccer matches.

Membership information may be picked up in Catawba College's Development Office or by calling the Catawba Chiefs Club at (704) 637-4394 or by visiting www.gocatawbaindians.com.
