$100,000 Cabell Grant

for Old School Achieved!

It is a great pleasure to announce that thanks to the generosity of ever-faithful members and supporters, we have achieved the first goal of the Raise the Roof Capital Campaign--to raise $300,000 in contributions and pledges since the Cabell Foundation's 3-to-1 challenge grant was awarded last May, and so earn $100,000 more toward our campaign to rebuild the Old School auditorium. Total fundraising so far has reached almost 40 percent ($580,000) of our $1.6 million total fundraising goal and almost 50 percent of the $1.2 million needed to begin construction of the new auditorium. Thank you to all our kind donors!
 
Now onto the next phase which the Development Committee, co-chaired by Melanie Lockwood Herman and Tom Simmons, has designated as $600,000 to meet our construction-funding goal of $1.2 million. A new Raise the Roof Advisory Committee met on June 25 at the Old School to brainstorm ideas and offer suggestions. We are indebted to the individuals who are providing their time and expertise on this committee:  Jill Beach, Jim Behan and Connie Moore, Steve Combs, Dennis and Michele Cotter, Cary and Ann Gravatt, Robert and Catharine Patton, Mel Whitely, Cate Magennis Wyatt and Steve Wyatt. Watch for news of upcoming events planned by this group and our Board of Directors, following the success of the Waterford Country & Cottage Garden Tour in May and Bluegrass at Chestnut Hill in June.
 
Again, thank you to all who have contributed; and, if you have not had time yet to make your contribution or pledge...please remember that the money raised over the coming weeks is critical. We are all eager to get the Old School--both the classroom and the auditorium--rebuilt and available as a bright new venue that will bring concerts, plays, lectures, celebrations, and other important meetings and events back to our treasured Waterford Old School. You can now pledge online at www.waterfordfoundation.org or send us your contribution by mail. Thank you as always.
