McDonald alums plan second stadium forum

McDONALD — The McDonald Alumni Association, which has been meeting for four months to develop a plan and committees to raise funds for a new stadium complex, will have a second facilities forum at the high school auditorium Jan. 5.

The fund-raising project has been dubbed “Project Blue” by the association. Although turnout was light for the first forum Monday, with some 30 residents attending, all of those who came had “good things to say” about the project and alumni fund-raising plans, school board member Jeffrey Hughes said Wednesday..

Hughes noted that before the association can really start to build steam for the fund-raising campaign, the school board has to act to place an issue on the May 2009 ballot for a sports stadium complex.
