NORTH FLORIDA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL 3000 North Meridian Road Tallahassee, Florida 32303 October 18, 1971 Dear Friends, We know you will be interested in the progress of our new school to be started in Gadsden County. It's name will be Gadsden Christian School. It will be located on Highway 12 between Quincy and Havana, on a 30-acre tract right across from the firetower. Mr. Larry DuBose, our Elementary Supervisor, will be the Principal of this school. Under his leadership, we know Gadsden Christian School will soon be the finest educational institution in the county. It will have the same acedemic program as North Florida Christian. We expect the Gadsden Christian School will be much more conveniently located for your children to attend than our school here in Tallahassee. Consequently, we are enclosing two application forms for pre-registration for any children you may wish to send to Gadsden Christian School next September. The majority of the applications thus far are registered for kindergarten through sixth grade. It is certain that the school will go through the sixth grade. The number of additional applications will determine if it will include any higher grade this year. In either case, we do expect to add additional grades year by year as the need develops. It is very important that you register now if you wish to secure a place for your children as we can only accept 300 in the school the first year. We have had excellent response in our meetings in Quincy and Havana. Already the school is nearly half full. In two weeks we shall open the registration to families in Tallahassee who have not been able to enroll their children in a satisfactory educational institution. Enclosed you will also find a prospectus of the bond program through which we will be financing the construction of Gadsden Christian School. Only through the sale of these bonds will the construction be possible. We hope that you will wish to have a part in the program or help find others who will participate. The bond program offers the means not only for the construction of a fine school which will benefit the entire county, but will provide you with a savings program with excellent interest. We look forward to hearing from you in the near future. a. H. Pound, Jr. jy 1 Secretary-Treasurer, Gadsden Christian 6

PROPERTY United Christian has made arrangements for the purchase of some thirty acres of land fronting on State Road 12 in Gadsden County, Florida, between the towns of Havana and Quincy. This land is centrally located and will require a minimum of filling or landscaping, enjoying natural land- scaping and beauty. It is anticipated that United Christian will be able to secure the thirty acres in question at a price of $500 per acre, such purchase price being paid in cash from the proceeds of the sale of these bonds or by the acceptance of part or all of the purchase price in United Christian bonds. United Christian Schools of America, Inc., hereinafter called United Christian, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on September 23, 1971 for the purpose of establishing Christian Schools to provide quality Christian education for youth who seek and are qualified for such education.
