Winter Basketball Cookouts have arrived!
Come join us for the 1st Winter Basketball Cookout series at the All Safe Security Gym! – The OLL Booster Club is sponsoring three cookout fundraisers at the All Safe Security Gym during the following basketball games/dates:
- Tuesday January 12 vs. TFS
- Thursday January 21 vs. St. Raphaels
- Tuesday January 26 vs. St. Thomas Moore
Come watch OLL Basketball, and enjoy a hamburger (or hotdog), chips, and a drink for $5.00! Proceeds help offset the operating costs of the All Safe Security Gym….like keeping the lights on! If you would like to help us with the cookout, contact Grillmaster Bob Crone at bob@croneadvertising.com. See you there!
Come join us at the All Safe Security Gym Work Day on Sunday January 3rd!
Please help us on Sunday January 3 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm to make improvements at the All Safe Security Gym! We will get the kitchen ready for our winter concessions, we will repair leaks in the roof, get the scoreboard lights working, and perform some general cleaning everywhere. We can’t rule out an impromptu pickup basketball game breaking out when we are done. If you can help, please contact Shannan Morris at baskets2@earthlink.net .
Come to Omega Sports Night This Sunday, December 6, 6:30 – 8:00pm!
Omega Sports Night is THIS SUNDAY! Please join the OLL Booster Club at Omega Sports on December 6th for our winter fundraiser and get a free OLL Booster Club 16oz tumbler….your new favorite cup…just for showing up! We want you to have a shopping frenzy from 6:30pm until 8:00pm to benefit OLL Athletics, as the OLL Booster Club will receive 20% of the purchases! This is a perfect time to do your Christmas shopping for all of the athletes in your home! You know you need that lacrosse shaft, that soccer bag, those golf shoes, or those sweat pants that fit! Better yet, stop by Five Guys at North Hills ahead of time (perhaps 6pm), let them know you are with OLL, and get a free drink with any purchase! Five Guys has great burgers and fries, and is conveniently located next to Omega Sports.

Introducing the All Safe Security Gym!
The Booster Club has landed a fine sponsor for what was formerly known as the “Old Cardinal Gibbons Gym”. All Safe Security is a locally owned (and I might add that they are a fine Booster Club Lions Club member-owned) and operated company providing the latest in security technologies. Have you seen the keypad Door-guard systems at OLL….the ones that keep you from strolling into the school without permission? That’s an All Safe Security system! In addition to these access control systems, they provide locks and safes for just about anything…for your home and for your business. They are professional locksmiths, so keep their number handy the next time you get locked out: 919-881-1191. Check out their website at www.allsafesecurity.us
This week a new fire alarm system is being installed in the gym, we have completed extensive plumbing repairs, and the floors will be refinished by next week…..Things are all-good in the All Safe Security Gym!
Come to the Annual Booster Club Kickoff Party Thursday, September 17th at 7:00pm! Free to Members!
Please make plans to attend the annual Booster Club Kickoff Party on Thursday September 17th at 7:00pm, at the North Hills Club Ballroom! There you will rub elbows with other Booster Club Members, enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks, and a popular cash bar is available for you! You will want to be there to hear who won the OLL Booster Club Sports Hall of Fame (we will be going back about 30 years for this one!), and you will also want to find out who won the Booster Club Volunteer of the Year. But most importantly, we want you to come because we want to thank YOU for your support. Please note this is for adults members only, and if you have not joined yet, memberships will be available at the door. We look forward to seeing you there!
