The St. Stanislaus College Alumni Association Toronto has approved $35,605.35 CAD that includes
the Barbados Association $8,100 CAD for the "WALL of FAME" project in Guyana. Release of funds is subject to:
-
Receipt of Plans
-
Receipt of schematics and approval of placement of plaques
-
Receipt and approval of relevant invoices for the project"
The project was conceived in the early 1990's as a method of raising funds on an on going basis with
annual campaigns.
Our initial campaign raised $42,600CAD (Barbados $8,100, Toronto $34,500) The construction cost of the
WALL is estimated at $35,600 (CAD) excluding the cost of the plaques. The whole idea is to provide the
College with financial support by utilizing the excess funds raised (over the construction cost) for other
projects as the College.
The initial construction will consist of a 92' concrete block wall on which the plaques will be placed and
the balance, a chain link fence will surround the entire property.
Each plaque measuring 9" wide x 3 ½" high is a ¾" thick piece of highly polished, solid, black granite with
the contributors name and either the years he/she attended Saints or the year he/she left Saints' and an
artistic border sand blasted 1/8" into the granite and painted in white. Imagine the longevity.
Dozens of present/past Executive members of the Barbados, Toronto and Guyana Saints' Alumni Associations have spent hundreds of hours getting it to this point. It was not easy. Notable participants
include Albert Rodrigues (architect), Ken Khan (President, Barbados chapter), John Lewis (engineer), Joe
Reis (project coordinator) and Stan Gonsalves (engineer). Dozens of others are still "on board" pushing the
project. And others are coming on board e.g. Chris Fernandes who is now the driving force behind the
construction of the wall.
For the thousands of Saints alumni who have not yet made a contribution, this is your final opportunity to
become a FOUNDING MEMBER of the WALL of FAME. Give generously so that you will be remembered as Saints alumni for years to come. (Your cheque must be received by January 31, 2004)
The next fund raising campaign to add names to the WALL will include an increase in cost of a plaque to cover the increase construction costs over the last six years.
Come on Guys and Girls - BE A FOUNDING MEMBER by adding your name to the 90+ contributors NOW.
