In March of 1978, Business Manager Robert Currie began discussing a potential partnership with Myers Park Church. Church leadership indicated that they would be able to raise $75K-$100K for a pavilion, cook-out facilities, and a pier. The church’s use would be limited and mostly for sunday school and summer camps. The primary obstacle was adaquete staffing of the property.
In November of 1979, Currie continued discussing the Myers Park partnership with Athletic Director Thomas Cartmill and Rev. Dr. R. Taylor of Myers Park Church. The initial indication of a donation of a pavilion and other facilities was no longer feasible, but the two parties did agree to enter in to a partnership for a 2-year trial period. They agreed to split the cost of a full time ranger. Currie stated that, “Sterling feels this move will give to the Lake Campus a needed shot in the arm.”
In 1982, this partnership was renewed again for a third summer.
