Building Our Future   Campaign Update   2009 Letter from Sister Leanne Regarding the Capital Campaign   January 2009 Capital Campaign Brochure   Letter of Intent to Support Regina High School   Capital Campaign Brochure   Campaign Chairs Gregory and Phyllis DeMars.   Greg DeMars is a senior partner at Honigman, Miller, Schwartz, and Cohn, LLP in downtown Detroit. Phyllis is a special needs/resource teacher at Our Lady Star of the Sea. They are products of Catholic education, and are dedicated to it, sending their son Greg to De La Salle and their daughters Sara and Bethany to Regina. They joke about being goaded into the positions of co-chairs for this campaign – but their focus, efforts and commitment to date shows it didn’t take much to make them comfortable in their roles. “My wife and I are pleased to be co-chairs working with a group of other dedicated members of the Regina community in connection with the Capital Campaign – Building Our Future, for Regina High School. This is a historical moment for Regina as it moves from Harper Woods, Michigan to Warren, Michigan into a new facility. As parents, with a daughter who has graduated and one about to graduate, we feel that this important mission of Regina High School in educating its students in the Catholic traditions must continue. Regina has a unique position in the community as being the only all girls Catholic college preparatory high school on the eastside of the Detroit metropolitan area. We support the Regina mission fully and we believe that it is one that the community should embrace.” Greg and Phyllis are residents of Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. REGINA HIGH SCHOOL – Building Our Future ! On Thursday, April 19, 2007, our Principal, Sister Mary Leanne Leszczynski, Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis (SSJ-TOSF), the Capital Campaign Leadership Team, and Regina’s Board of Directors introduced the components and needs of our Capital Campaign – Building Our Future! “Simply put, this campaign allows us to continue to fulfill the mission and ministry of Regina High School, in the Franciscan tradition” said Sr. Leanne. “Regina has been a strong presence in the metropolitan Detroit community for over 50 years.” Mrs. Janet Sossi Belcoure, Alumnae Parent and owner of Roma Cafe’, and Mrs. Flora Pelino Tersigni, Class of 1967, former faculty member and Alumnae Parent, are the Honorary Chairs for the $5 million comprehensive campaign. The campaign is being chaired by Mr. Greg and Mrs. Phyllis DeMars, Current Parents, Ms. Rosemary Wlodarczyk, Class of 1977, Mrs. Ann Agrusa Agosta, Class of 1964, and Mrs. Joyce Kierschke Rondini, Class of 1964. “I have often considered getting involved with Regina in a meaningful way,” said Honorary Chair Jan Belcoure. “I truly view this program as an opportunity to position Regina for the future and give back to an institution that has had such an impact on my daughter.” “The success of this campaign will allow us to address the spiritual, academic, athletic, and administrative needs of the school as prioritized by our community”, said Mary Ann Goll, Advancement Director for Regina. “The campaign has two components: construction and renovation of the Warren campus and an endowment fund.” Cash and pledges in the six figures have been secured to date. “We want to ensure that our students will receive an outstanding, quality education, in a state-of-the-art facility, yet be sensitive to the need to maintain an affordable tuition,” said Ms. Pamela Zarkowski, Class of 1971, President of the Board of Directors. Our school is moving in July, 2007 to the new campus in Warren, making it the only school of its kind in Macomb County. Enrollment for next year has jumped significantly. We continue to serve students from numerous areas in the Detroit metropolitan area.
