Springfield, Mo. — The Evangel University Auxiliary will be holding its annual super-colossal sale to raise funds for academic projects.

For additional information, call Muriel Denton (417) 877-8084.

The Ladies Auxiliary has been holding an annual fund-raising sale since 1964. In the beginning, only unused items donated by the ladies were sold; however, the Auxiliary decided to enlist the help of students for this annual fundraiser when they witnessed all the saleable items students left behind at the end of the school year. In 1980, they held their first all-college sale.

Since Evangel’s beginning in 1955, the EUA members have been a constant support by volunteering time and talents in order to see the campus flourish. They have been tireless in the pursuit of funds for campus needs — major projects have included the pipe organ and grand piano for the chapel, computers for academic areas, furnishing for both major lobbies of Academic Building I and the second and third floor lobbies of AB II, as well as lighting and stage curtains for the Barnett Fine Arts Theatre.

Their current project is pledged for a Heritage Room in the new administration building.
