The Amherst Central Alumni Chorale, a vision of ‘58 alumnus Robert Laskie, is in its third year of producing wonderful music. It is almost 50 members strong. Our inaugural conductor and accompanist, Rosemary Dayton and Carolyn Russell, will continue on a part time basis. But the funds will be to compensate all directors and accompanists and ensure the future of the Chorale.

Bob sang with us until he was no longer able to, sadly succumbing to Pancreatic cancer. We miss Bob will all our hearts and it is our desire to begin a fund in his name to enable the chorale to continue bringing generations of alumni together sharing music, memories and friendships. We are forever indebted to Bob, Posy and Carolyn for spring boarding this wonderful group!

Please feel free to donate in memory or honor of Bob or another musical alumnus!

You can donate two ways — either via downloadable donation form below or PayPal button for credit/debit card donation.

Thank you for your support!

Grants in Action: Amherst Juniors Visit the Darwin Martin House

As part of the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation’s grant program, we help fund various student activities throughout the school district. The foundation will also receive some material we like to share with alumni about the grants we fund. One of the programs funded this year was Amherst High School Juniors visiting Buffalo’s historic Darwin Martin House.

We received this recap of the trip.

On Friday 18 December 2015 some eighty members of the Junior class were able to experience a piece of local history by visiting the Darwin Martin House.  The trip was utilized by United States History teachers Greg Kisker, Mark Jones, and Anne Ward to highlight both the incredible architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and also to show the impact of American Industrialization on Western New York.  Students taking part in the trip were amazed by the house itself, but also were captivated by the story behind Darwin Martin, the rise of the city of Buffalo, and powerful local enterprises like the Larkin Company.  For many students, it was their first visit to this local gem, and many more had no idea the national influence the city of Buffalo once held.  The trip was spearheaded by Amherst Assistant Principal Nancy Ables, who is a docent at the complex.  The trip would not have been possible without monetary grants covering all costs associated with the trip.  Many thanks to the Amherst Alumni Foundation, First Student Transportation and the Darwin Martin House.

Here are some photos from the visit, click on images for full view.

Through the generous support of Amherst Alumni, you helped make this happen.

Please consider donating to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation.
