The 121st Founders Day celebration for Friendship Junior College was held May 19, 2012 at the Mount Prospect Baptist Church, 339 West Black St., Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Reverend Doctor A.C. Robinson (Class of 1966), pastor of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, Marion, South Carolina was the Founders Day Speaker.
This Founders Day celebration was different from all of the previous celebrations because it culminated with the ground breaking for the long awaited James H. Goudlock Building
The Goudlock building will be used for programs sponsored by the Baptist Convention of York and Chester Counties; for training programs to enhance basic skills for employment opportunities and other community based activities.
A Memorial service was held on the grounds of Friendship College prior to the Founders Day celebration.
A Capital Campaign Fund kicked-off during the Founders Day Service. All Alumni, Well Wishers and Friends of Friendship are asked to contribute or pledge $1000.00 during the Founders Day Celebration. R.T. Harper Construction Company will begin construction in mid-June.
For further information, or to make contributions please contact Reverend Richard A. Graham, P.O. Box 12208, Rock Hill, South Carolina 29732. All checks should be made payable to the J.H. Goudlock Building Fund.
