Class of 1963 50th Reunion Class Gift Campaign A First Class Opportunity

50th Reunion Class Gift CampaignThe Trinity High School (THS) Auditorium shares 50-year milestones with the Class of 1963:

Over 50 years ago, the class of ‘63 was integral to building the THS auditorium through the sale of massive quantities of World’s Greatest Chocolate Almonds and Ford “Ga-lax-ee” raffle tickets.

50 years ago this Spring, the class of ‘63 was the first class to present a play on the new THS stage - “Alice in Wonderland”.

50 years ago this June 4th the class of ‘63 became the first class to graduate from Trinity’s new state-of-the-art auditorium.

In the past 50 years, as members of the class of 1963 have experienced some “wear and tear”, so too has the 50 year old THS Auditorium.

50th Reunion Class Gift CampaignTHS has identified the auditorium as not only a meeting space for the school, but a viable revenue generating stream via rentals out to the community-at-large:

As one of the largest auditorium/stage meeting spaces in the area THS has received a number of inquiries regarding rental.

Disrepair of auditorium seating, lack of air conditioning and insufficient bathroom facilities are currently three major impediments to rental.

A number of additional repairs and renovations are needed which, in aggregate, warrant a renovation of the auditorium.

50th Reunion Class Gift Campaign

Until such time as an auditorium renovation campaign is launched,

Trinity has prioritized the replacement of 255 seats in the center section

of the Auditorium. These seats are in the greatest need of replacing as

a large number of them, even entire rows, no longer raise or lower.

The 50th Reunion Class Gift will serve as a “First Class Opportunity” to

launch the auditorium renovation by raising funds to replace the center

section of seats.

Given the possibility of creating a future revenue stream for THS, this

50th Reunion Class Gift promises to be the “gift that keeps on giving”.

50TH Reunion Class Gift Campaign

All funds raised for the seating replacement will be directly payable to Trinity High School, either by check or credit card. Trinity will be solely responsible for the ordering and oversight of the replacement of the auditorium seats, as well as donor recognition.

Seating Replacement ProgramAfter 50 yrs. parts are no longer available which necessitates the seating being replaced as opposed to repaired or reupholstered.

Seating Replacement ProgramBeyond the wear and tear on the upholstery and seat finishes, a great many seats no longer raise or lower, in some cases, leaving entire rows non-functioning.

Larger plaques commensurate with the amount of larger donations will be available for hanging in the building.

A singular donation of $1,000,000.00 earmarked for the Auditorium earns the right to name the building.

2” x 3” inscription plates to be affixed to the chair arm will be available in either brass or a gold tone and hold up to 30 characters.

3” x 5” inscription plates to be affixed to the end of a row(s) will also be available in brass or gold tone and hold up to 50 characters.
