| Saying
thanks

Leaders and supporters of LTSP enjoy a moment together during
a fund-raising luncheon in the Lehigh Valley June 14. From left
are Rene Diemer, seminary registrar and LTSP President Philip
Krey, Lee and Dolly Butz; Robert F. and Barbara Blanck and Jack
and Patricia Bradt. Lee Butz of Alvin H. Butz General Contractors
and Jack Bradt, a seminary trustee, organized the luncheon to
say thanks to Northeastern Pennsylvania donors for their support
of the capital campaign and also to urge additional support. Robert
Blanck chairs the campaign initiative. At this writing, more than
$1.4 million had been raised toward a Kresge Foundation challenge
grant to support the construction of the $20 million Brossman
Learning Center. If the seminary raises $1.7 million in the challenge
by September 1, Kresge will provide a $650,000 gift to help underwrite
the cost of the new center. Completion of the center construction
is anticipated by about July 15. The Butz firm is the general
contractor for the center.
