Auction Gala Wrapup
By
First, thanks to all of you who helped with and came to our Auction Gala! We want thank all of our auction item donors, and our food and refreshment donors — Ably Asian Cuisine, The Woodbridge Inn, The Fireside Cafe and Pub, and Trout’s Beverages. When you visit any of these places, thank them for helping Tater Patch Players! Over 100 bidders came, saw and bid like mad on wonderful items. Many left with bargains, some left empty handed — all left happy. Financially the auction was very successful, and the $20,000 Capital Grant from PCCRA presented at the start of the festivities, was like icing on the cake.
We raised a good amount of money, but (alas) are still short of our goal by a notable amount. The Board of Directors of Tater Patch is meeting this week to evaluate the fundraising and see how we can continue this push in the two months that remain in our fundraising window. We are still aiming to buy the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses building on Cove Road and make it our permanent home. When we get into the building, we will be self-supporting and the community can see how many wonderful things will come from its performing arts center! (But some of the participants had so much fun, they want to do an Auction Gala every year…… so maybe next year IN our theater building? Who knows…..)
Upcoming shows: Please check out the calendar for upcoming theater performances, now posted!
