Mark your calendars now for the event of the century! Join us the weekend of September 6th- 8th, 2019 as the Withrow Alumni Association presents a celebration of 100 years of education at the Withrow Centennial Gala Weekend. The event schedule is as follows:
All of the equipment and facilities necessary for producing stage shows, which was available in the 70’s is gone, and it’s now necessary to acquire it. For example, 2 powerful spotlights are necessary for proper stage lighting, and 2 new spot lights would cost over $35,000. However, past Stage Crew member Gary Beckstedt, Sr. ’69, now in Atlanta, has found 2 used spot lights that can be acquired for $6,000. Further, Gary has kicked off a spot light campaign with a donation of $500. Help us raise the money needed to purchase these lights while they’re still available by clicking HERE.
