Richardson Marks New School Year With Annual Luncheon For Teachers
Seven hundred people, including 460 new teachers, attended the Chamber's Annual New Teachers Luncheon on Aug. 4. It was the 47th year the business community has celebrated public education by honoring teachers entering the Richardson Independent School District. Keynote speaker Dr. Mike Moses, CEO of WestMark Systems, told the teachers, “You are entering a district with a tremendous legacy of excellence. This community, as evidenced by the support at this luncheon, understands that good schools and good business go together.” Dr. Moses previously served as the Texas Commissioner of Education and superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District. The event also featured more than 200 door prizes, which were donated by local businesses and distributed to the teachers.
Donation Allows City To Commission Lightpainting For Eisemann Center The City of Richardson and supporters of the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations in Richardson recently honored Gayla and James Von Ehr, II for their $250,000 gift to the City, making it possible to commission a lightpainting from internationally renowned artist Stephen Knapp for the east wall in the Leftwich Grand Foyer of the Eisemann Center. The gift and commission were the result of the vision and determination of major donor and chair of the Major Gifts Committee, Charles W. “Chuck” Eisemann. “I want to express my sincere gratitude for the leadership shown by the Von Ehrs in making this gift that has allowed the City to commission this extraordinary work for the Eisemann Center. From the time I saw the lightpainting commissioned by the Von Ehrs for their home, I knew that this was the right artist to create a master work for the Leftwich Grand Foyer.” |
