Given the downturn in the economy, is the timing right for a campaign?
The reality is that we can no longer band-aid the West Campus facility; and, after much thought and many discussions, we believe it is in our best interest to invest in our own facilities instead of investing in a facility for which we have no control over the scheduling of practices and games. A multi-sport field will allow us to schedule our own practices and games for football and soccer. The new area will also accommodate the softball and baseball teams when it is too wet to practice on their fields. Our Fine Arts programming is excellent; however, we have significant overcrowding issues to deal with along with worn out chairs in the auditorium. We no longer have the luxury of waiting for the “right” time to launch a campaign.
