Tiffany’s Launches WPS’s Performing Arts Center Campaign
land are both on target. The seven new units in the Commons should be ready for occupancy this summer. While the funding is essentially complete, anyoneinterestedincontributing (possiblytoname a residence) is invited to contact Doug Ayer, Director of Development, at (650) 851-6101.
Additional seating space in the Chapel was scheduled for a few years down the road, but the project is being moved up because the need is so great, said Tim Molak, Headmaster. With the direction of the Benedictine Community, the back wall of the main seating area will be extended and an exterior Blessed Sacrament Chapel added.
Everyone who donated to the first year of WPS’s Golden Jubilee campaign—plus monks, arts facility and volunteers—was invited celebrate last fall at a gala evening hosted by WPS parent Terri Robbins Tiffany (mother of Jordan) and Tiffany’s at Stanford Shopping Center.
The event was also the kickoff of the $7 million Performing Arts Center and Classrooms campaign— the biggest single project of the five in the Golden Jubileecampaign. Thewineandfood—andbeautiful baubles—couldn’t have been more delightful.

A very surprised Wayne Davison was presented with an engraved silver Tiffany’s tray at the fall gala. The award honored his work as Chair of the Board of Trustees and Golden Jubilee Campaign Leadership Team, and an incredible number of other services large and small. He attended with his wife (and equally hard worker) Cindy.
