Ann (Becker) Ballanfonte went to Austin High School and presented a portable defibrillator valued at $2,055. The defibrillator and a plaque commemorating the gift will hang on the wall in the school Administration Office. AHS Principal Barbara Spelman and Athletic Trainer Stephanie Keiningham were on hand to receive the gift. Both expressed their sincere appreciation for this life saving equipment and noted that the Administrative Staff is fully trained in its use.
In another generous move, the Steering Committee of the Class of 1949 met with Amy Allen, Donor Relations Director for the Austin Community Foundation, and donated $5000 to the permanent fund managed by the Foundation. Interest from this fund is used each year to provide scholarships to meritorious graduating seniors as selected by the Scholarship Committee at Austin High School. The Class of 1949 also donated an additional $292.69 to be used for a scholarship in spring 2005. These donations were made from funds collected for the 55th Reunion of the Class of 1949. Steering Committee Chair V. B. Walker said, “Our endowment is open to additional contributions, memorials, and other gifts, and we hope that the principal will grow with future gifts”. The Austin Community Foundation address is P.O. Box 5159, Austin, Texas 78763, Telephone: 512/472-4483.
