OUR SUPPORTERS

Speech Booster Club
The Lakeville North Speech Booster Club is made up of anyone interested in supporting the success of the North Speech Program. The Boosters are a 501(c)(3) organization that was formed in the summer of 2007. It receives both Minnesota and Federal non-profit status, and is able to receive tax-deductible donations.
The Lakeville North Speech Team would not be able to do all that it does without the support of this group of dedicated parents. Their organizational efforts make this team one of the best supported in the state. We hope you will find the opportunity to become involved and witness the work that they do for us. (See below for more information on the members of our Booster Board.)
