20170921 "FINAL" Draft of Lee Stone Letter

Here is what might be the Final Letter draft of the letter to be sent  out about the Stone Scholarship

Dear Asheboro High School Alumni:

We are writing to ask your help with a project many believe is long overdue. Members of several classes from the Lee J. Stone era at Asheboro High School are banding together to establish a scholarship endowment in memory of Coach Stone.

For those of you from the Stone era, he needs no introduction. For those who aren’t, he took athletics, especially football, to a remarkable level. In doing so, he made successful men of young boys whose lives were changed for the better forever.

Stone is the only coach in AHS history to be inducted into the NC Sports Hall of Fame as well as the NC High School Sports Hall of Fame. Additionally, he was inducted in the AHS Sports Hall of Fame in it’s inaugural year.

We can think of no better way to carry on Coach Stone’s legacy than to establish a sports and academic scholarship endowment which will advance the lives of even more young people. The scholarship will be available to both male and female students of any official AHS sport who qualify.

Funding an endowed scholarship requires a minimum of $15,000.  We are confident this can achieved and surpassed!  Initial conversations have been well received and we have begun receiving contributions giving us a head start on this project!

Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution today. Your check should be made out to the Asheboro City Schools Education Foundation with the Lee J. Stone Scholarship Endowment Fund on the memo line and send to Asheboro City Schools Education Foundation, P O Box 1103, Asheboro NC 27204-1103 ATTN Kristen Wright

Thank you for your help and support. Please be sure you include your mailing address or an email address so we can acknowledge your contribuyion.

through the efforts of Marilyn Smith, we have class reps for 

many of the classes during the Stone era. SInce many of the members 

of those classes do not have email addresses, we will need to mail 

 letters to some 800-1000 grads. 

We have scheduled a letter-stuffing party for October 12, 

starting at 10 am, the room tba. This is an invitation for one and all to help, 

if you can. I know many  have day jobs, but for those who can, pls help us out. 

Pls let me know if you can help. or just show up. If  you will let me know, 

i will send another email re the location. 

There are a couple among our number who do not have email addresses and pls 

let them know about this.
