THE LATEST ON SMOA
If you haven’t heard the exciting news about SMOA let me tell you. HELLO SAILORS!
In January one of our board members, Elaine Keating made a matching donation of $1,000,000. In other words, if you donated $1 it turned into $2. It took only 6 weeks for the community to come up with that match! We have now raised $20,224,925 toward the $22,000,000 goal. Then the unimaginable happened – an anonymous donor at Gulf Coast Community Foundation gave a challenge pledge of $1,000,000. His/her challenge is for the community to get the project to $21,000,000 by May 31st and last $1 million will come from him/her. What this means is we need only $775,075 to complete the campaign.
This is where the alumni come in...THE SHS ALUMNI AUDITORIUM
I wanted to find a way to get this logo out around town. And to paraphrase Henny Youngman, “I know a good idea when I steal one,” If you send a donation, you get a gift. No, I’m not re-creating the public television rant (well maybe a little, it does work). The good news is you don’t have my ugly mug on your TV making you feel guilty. Take a look at our website http://shsalumniauditorium.org/3/events.htm and see what you like. Shirts are available in all sizes and the umbrella, caps, bags and pens are one-size-fits-all.
Now all of you who have already donated don’t have to worry. You will get the appropriate gift. We’re expecting fulfillment to be 3-5 weeks. To reserve your gift go to the Ringling College site:

Complete the order form and return it to me either by email or by mailing it directly to me at the address below. I look forward to seeing all of you proudly showing off your SHS Alumni Auditorium products. As always, drop me a line and let me know what you think – [email protected] – I hope you are all doing well! And, I know with your participation we can make the Alumni Auditorium a reality!
