Stampeder Nation Newsletter - January 2023
Good day and Happy New Year!
The Board of Directors and I are proud to announce the introduction of the first quarterly Buffalo Stampeders newsletter. We will be sending this out to our many Buffalo Stampeders youth sports club supporters, sponsors, donors, directors, coaches, and volunteer staff.
We felt there was a need to show how special this Stampeders program has become to so many of our community youth athletes, and parents. The impact that is being made is nothing short of amazing in such a small amount of time. So we felt the time is now to share some of the accomplishments that we have experienced in the past couple of years with this newsletter.
The Buffalo Stampeders exist for the children and youth athletes of The Villages Charter School and surrounding communities. Without the help so many wonderful people none of this would be possible. So we would like to take the time thank all of you for helping make these opportunities available through your commitment, hard work, and personal sacrifice.
