$10,000 Union Pacific Grant to GREAT
Board memebers of Gooding Restoration for Entertainment, Arts and Theatre were recently invited to Pocatello to recieve a $10,000 award to help fund a new roof for the Schubert Theatre. “The generosity of Union Pacific will make a substantial difference in reaching the goal of getting the Shubert’s roof in place before winter so restoration can begin on the inside,” said Charmy LeaVell. “Restoring the theatre can provide a more supportive environment for our youth and can be a springboard for a safer community enhancing the quality of our lives as well as bridging the gap between understanding, differences, culture and learning. Supporting the restoration of the theatre will provide Gooding and surrounding communities with the means to mentor our youth, serve our seniors and create a spirit of community.” Board President Charmy LeaVell, VP Terry Behunin, Secretary Shanna Koyle, Treasurer Jessica Juarez, Director Jeff Brekke, Director Lucy Chibanti, and Director Ruth Simerly, met with Nathan Anderson (Union
