NIAGARA FALLS — A retirement party for Lee Wallace, former Athletic Director at Niagara County Community College, on Oct. 8 at Antonio’s Restaurant, 7708 Niagara Falls Blvd.

Wallace stepped down as the athletics director at NCCC at the end of August, after serving in that capacity at the college since 1998. Wallace has been credited for turning around that institution’s athletic programs with upgrades to the basketball and baseball programs as well as the addition of men’s and women’s lacrosse and the return of the bowling program.

Wallace was also instrumental in the creation of the new, “Thunder Wolves” logo and moniker as head of that committee.

Prior to Wallace’s stint at NCCC he worked for the Niagara-Wheatfield school system in various administrative positions and owns that school’s record for career wins in girls softball and basketball. Wallace also served as a member of NW’s football coaching staff through the 1980’s and 90’s.

Tickets are $25 in advance and must be purchased by Sept. 30. The dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. with live music and open bar after the formal program.

For more information, call Mike or Maria at 296-7689 or Amanda at 807-6336.
