JULY 2015 ISSUE
THE WHISTLESTOP
From the Director… The Puzzle is Almost Complete! Wow! We have had a terrific response to our Matching Campaign! As of press time, we have received close to $3800, just $1200 shy of our $5000 goal. This amount will be matched by FiftyForward giving us a total of $7600. We are hoping for some last minute donations that could push us even closer to our goal. Remember the deadline is June 30, 2015! Thank you so much to all of our donors so far. Every little bit helps to keep our doors open and the bills paid!
Reader’s Theater Group Needs a New Name Many of you have enjoyed our terrific performances from our Reader’s Theater Group. Well, now they need your help! They are having trouble deciding on their new name and would like our membership to vote. The top three choices are: The Loose Caboose Players, The Loco-Motive Players, or The Un-Trained Players. A voting sheet will be on the front counter for you to cast your favorite choice. Thank you in advance!
