Volunteers are needed to help make this the best auction ever. Proceeds of the auction will help to support our fabulous Greenville Symphony Orchestra! If there is a shop or restaurant that you frequent that might be willing to donate something for the auction, you can be of great assistance--even if you are not an active member of the Auction Committee. Before making a request, contact Susan Monaghan ([email protected]) just to be sure the shop or restaurant is not already being contacted by someone else so we do not duplicate requests. Your efforts will go a long way to helping to raise record funds this year. Please contact Susan Monaghan if you are able to assist, either by working on the Auction Committee or by simply requesting donations from your favorite shops or restaurants. A personal relationship with the donor makes a big difference! After you verify that there are no other requests going to the potential donor, the Auc- tions Committee will send you a donor letter and a 2-part donor receipt. Thank you!

    Celebrates 25 Years. 25Th Anniversary Collector’S Edition Dear Students, Educators,And Friends

    South Carolina African American History Calendar Celebrates 25 Years. 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Dear Students, Educators,and Friends, One of the highlights of my year is the unveiling of the new African American History Calendar, for it is always a wonderful time of renewing friendships, connecting with new acquaintances, and honoring a remarkable group of South Carolinians. This year is even more exciting, for the 2014 calendar is our 25th Anniversary Edition! For a quarter of a century, the Calendar project has celebrated the lives, leadership, and experiences of gifted people who have shaped who we are as a State and as South Carolinians. Initially developed as a resource for teachers as they include African American history in their classroom curriculum, the Calendar has become a virtual Hall of Fame, combining recognition with education and drawing online visitors from around the globe. Thus far, 297 African Americans with South Carolina roots have been featured on the Calendar’s pages. They represent a wide array of endeavors, including government and military service, education, performing and fine arts, business, community activism, and athletics. They hail from every corner of the state, from rural communities to our largest cities. And each has made a difference for people and for their communities. The Calendar, with its supporting educational materials, has always been designed to help students understand that history is about people and their actions, not simply dates or places. While previous editions have focused on individuals, the 25th Anniversary Edition spotlights 12 milestone events in South Carolina’s African American History. Driven by men and women of courage and conviction, these events helped lay the foundation for who we are today as a State and who we can become.
