West Georgia Plans Construction of new Football Stadium
Stadium Seats With Foster's Store Name on Brass Plaques Proposed.
Participation Opportunity!
Wouldn't it be amazing if Mr. Foster was looking down on all this? What do you think he would say if he knew that former residents were organizing in a way that might just memorialize the good feeling we all had for him forever, or at least, in a way that would live on as long as they play a game called football at the University of West Georgia?
That's our opportunity here. In its efforts to raise the needed money for a new football stadium on the West Georgia campus, the School is seeking donations. They need another 4 million dollars to realize the dream.
I know they will reach that goal. You and I can help. If just a few of us get together, we can help them reach that goal, and at the same time, pay tribute to Mr. Foster and Ethel.
This is so neat!
If only ten of us commit to pledging $100 a year for 5 years, the school will permanently attach a brass plate with the words "Foster's Store" on the chair back of two seats like the ones pictured above.
Think about that. Picture it. Years from now, somebody walking into a West Georgia football game and sitting down in one of those chairs, seeing the words, "Foster's Store" and wondering what it means.
I can think of other chair names relating to my time at West Georgia, but first things first. All we need here is a total of ten people including myself to make that pledged of $ 100 a year for 5 years, and make it in the name of this "Stadium Chair named for Foster's Store."
A few people have already voiced their enthusiasm for this endeavor, other store mates are already giving in ways well beyond the scope of this individually small gesture. But if you are like me, and need a little push sometimes, consider yourself urged to join us in this small way to help out the university and immortalize the name of Foster's Store at the same time.
Listen, if you are attracted to this idea and would like to be part of it, just click on the new West Georgia Mascot logo below, an email message will appear with "I want to Help - Stadium Seats" highlighted in the subject line. Just use it to reply to me that you want to help, and I'll make sure you get a pledge card for the 100 bucks a year for 5 years pledge.
