The campaign to save the Highland Theatre is looking good! I've seen the community's business plan and I think their vision is both practical and artistic, and they have addressed a number of environmental issues that had concerned me in terms of heating and cooling the building.They are planning another fundraiser and are seeking items for a silent auction
"...to raise money for a commercial appraisal and legal fees for our Save the Highland Theater campaign. The American Legion across from Angel Falls will be the sight on Friday, August 24th from 6 to 9. There will be a $20 admission fee, a cash bar, hor d'oeuvres and desserts and a silent auction. We will have steel drums on the porch beckoning you in to the party.
We are asking all our creative, talented, generous friends and artists iwho support the saving the Highland Theatre to donate an auction item, an hors d'oeuvres or a dessert, and of course, come to the event. If you are an artist, donate one of your pieces. If you are a masseuse/masseur, donate a massage. A baker...a certificate for a cake. A lawyer or accountant....an hour of your time. A musician......an hour of chamber music or a CD. An author....a signed copy of your upcoming book. A web designer.......an hour of your time. An optician....a pair of sunglasses. A teenager.....a job of mowing, leaf raking, snow shoveling, or baby-sitting. "
If you have items to donate, contact Rosemary Reymann at Rlreymann@aol.com. Hope to see you at the fundraiser!
