The East Central Community College Foundation is selling Brick Tiles to raise funds to restore The Alumni House, which is the original president’s home located at the corner of Broad Street and North 7th Avenue on the front of the Decatur campus. The tiles will cover the surface of the east wing porch. The cost is $125 per tile, and patrons can include three lines of copy with 20 characters per line including spaces and punctuation. Dr. Stacey Hollingsworth, executive director for The Foundation, said, “These brick pavers will not only enhance the aesthetics of the exterior of the house, but they are a wonderful way to honor or memorialize alumni, friends, family, favorite teachers, and others who have been associate with East Central Community College.” Once renovations are complete, the facility will house the Alumni

Relations and Foundation offices and serve as event and meeting space. Currently, the interior has been stripped of old ceiling and floor tiles, and the kitchen and bathrooms have been gutted. To get the interior of the home ready for use, the Alumni and Foundation office is seeking to raise in excess of $100,000 and another $25,000 to $50,000 will be needed to refurbish the exterior. There are a limited number of tiles available, so alumni and friends are encouraged to order early. For more information, contact Dr. Hollingsworth at sholling@eccc.edu or call 601-635-6327.
