New Campaign Launched to Support Alumni Auditorium Renovation
January 06, 2012
Alumni have been proud to call Fern Creek High School our home since 1923. But now, we have a new reason to be proud: After almost 65 years, the Fern Creek auditorium has been named Alumni Auditorium.
We are pleased to partner with JCPS on the more than $300,000 renovation of this historic venue. Alumni Auditorium isn't just our home, it's the home of the Alumni Hall of Fame, the Fern Creek Theatre, the Sam Cilone Sr. Stringtown Cavalcade, and countless other school and community functions. We're even planning to open a student-run movie theatre later this year complete with ticket window and popcorn!
The Fern Creek Alumni Association has committed to spend more than $60,000 to help with a new sound system, painting, signage, and other AV equipment for our new home.
But we need your help. (Think of it as a housewarming gift!) We're asking for help from everyone who ever had their class ring ceremony, or a TV Math class, or either acted in or watched a play here, or watched an orchestra or choir concert, or anyone who remembers any of the hundreds of memories you made in our auditorium through the years. Of course, you didn't have to attend Fern Creek to help!
Whether you join our Adopt-An-Auditorium Seat Club or become a member of the Fern Creek Theatre Society at a higher dollar level, The Fern Creek Alumni Association will match your tax-deductible gift dollar for dollar.
The Adopt-An-Auditorium-Seat Club
$100 to name a seat in honor or memory of someone (or in your name). You get to choose your seat and a plaque will go both on the seat and on a donor wall in Alumni Auditorium. Isn't there a favorite teacher or a loved one you'd like to recognize?
