Tonight is the night 
Join us as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Falany Performing Arts Center

Reinhardt University students, faculty, staff and friends will gather tonight to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Falany Performing Arts Center (FPAC), and you're invited!

Opened in 2002, the FPAC is home to the Reinhardt University School of Performing Arts, where talent abounds year after year. The 350-seat concert hall also has seen the likes of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, The Drifters and the Vienna Boys Choir.

Tonight's festivities include a pre-concert hors d'ouevres reception, a concert featuring Reinhardt alumni, faculty, students and friends and a post-concert cake and toast by Board of Trustees Chair Billy Hasty.

President Kina Mallard will recognize President Emeritus and Mrs. Floyd Falany and will honor Dr. and Mrs. Austin Flint with the naming the concert hall "Flint Hall" in recognition of their recent gift in support of capital projects and with an endowed scholarship for music students.

New sign at Cline's Store welcomes visitors to the city

By Tim Norton

For many years, a mural painted on the side of the Cline General Store in Waleska welcomed residents of the City of Waleska, students and families coming to Reinhardt University and persons passing through Waleska on their way west on Ga. 140. 

Now, Reinhardt University has replaced that mural with a new sign on the east side of the historic store.

"Reinhardt University has always been proud of our connection with the City of Waleska," said Dr. Kina S. Mallard. "Cline Store is a symbol of a rich history of community citizens who join hands in our efforts for strong town and gown relationships. I am thankful for my friendship with Mayor Doris Jones and the Cline Family. They welcome and love our students and are strong supporters of the work we do at Reinhardt."
