Important News about the Sale of the AMA Campus

The Virginia District of the United Pentecostal Church will not be putting the AMA buildings and grounds up for sale anytime soon, according to Reverend Jack Cunningham.

Cunningham said they would entertain an offer "only if it is well above the property's market value" which they put at $3.8 million. Cunningham said that his members "love the AMA site and we are not eager to sell it at this point."

Three years in the making, the all AMA DVD premiered at Reunion 2008 featuring AMA, alumni and faculty experiences, memorable characters at AMA, and the service of Augusta men in five 20th and 21st century wars. Produced by the Winward Corporation and directed by Tom Kennedy and Hal McArthur, The AMA Way is very much a tribute to Mac McInnis, '67, whose dedication took it from concept to reality.
