The
Life Learning Center is now a reality!
Thank
you for your donations! The Life Learning Center capital
campaign is a sucess. We are now in the process of collecting
all outstanding pledges. The Ground Breaking Ceremony
will take place on Saturday, December 14, 2002 at 1:00
pm. on the CSPH campus. Please feel free to come by and
join us on this momentus occasion. For details, call us
at 404-691-5188.
For
several years, we have planned for the moment when we
could make our expansion dreams a reality. In 1997, we
acquired a two-acre tract of land on Harden Drive adjacent
to the existing campus. This purchase provided us with
the ideal location for the multipurpose facility where
it can be integrated easily into the CSPH campus. The
Board of Trustees worked with Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback
& Associates to develop a master site plan for the
CSPH campus and initial architectural renderings of the
Life Learning Center. The planning team also developed
a $3.5 million project budget for the construction of
the Center. Because the acquisition of the two-acre lot
was funded at the time of purchase, we need to raise funding
for the construction and related expenses at this time.

It
is an exciting time for the Carrie Steele - Pitts Home.
We are certain that the Life Learning Center will quickly
become an integral part of our service offerings. It will
build on the strengths of the existing programming and
provide greater opportunities for children to learn and
grow. It will offer an unprecedented opportunity for Carrie
Steele - Pitts Home to serve the surrounding neighborhood
with community meeting space and after school programming.
Our
children's tomorrow's are in our hands. By building the
CSPH Life Learning Center, we are building a legacy for
the future.
