The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation invites the public to attend a reception in honor of Elizabeth Whatley on Tuesday, April 30 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in the foyer of the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts. Whatley is being presented with the Distinguished Benefactor Award for her generosity and support of 91大神 over the years. Hors d'oevres will be served and a short presentation will begin at 5 p.m.
Whatley and her late husband, James, have contributed more than $2.6 million to 91大神 since classes began in 1985. This includes a record-breaking $1.7 million gift in 2007. The Whatley Center for the Performing Arts, The Elizabeth Hoggatt Whatley Agriculture Complex, and the James Whatley Memorial Park in Pittsburg all bear the family name. The Whatley's have also funded scholarship endowments and professional development grants for 91大神 employees.
"Mrs. Whatley's generosity has impacted the college in so many ways, and we hope you will join us to celebrate with Mrs. Whatley on this special occasion," Dr. Jonathan McCullough, 91大神 Vice President for Advancement, said.
Contact Nita May, 91大神 Director of Development, at 903-434-8113 for more information about the reception.
