Dear Friends of the Opera House,
As most of you know, we are in the midst of building our elevator! A very long time in coming, this dream is quickly becoming a reality! At present we are looking at a completion date of mid March, so stay tuned!
We write to you today, however, with a plea. The Historical Society is falling short of our fundraising goal by quite a bit and while we have raised a tremendous amount of money thus far, we are still behind and donations have slowed to a crawl. We are currently $30,000.00 short to be exact.
We need your help to finish this project.
If you have donated already, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts but we ask that if you could find it in budget, could you please give a little more? And if you have been thinking about donating and haven’t as yet, now is the time! Please give what you can, because any and all donations add up and will help us cross the finish line!
This elevator will mean so much to the Village of Pemberville. Not only will the Town Hall be completely accessible to all, but all will now be able to attend the wonderful programming available in the Opera House. Imagine all those that previously could not attend finally being able to! Grandparents that have not been able to see their grandchildren in plays or those unable to climb stairs making it to the opera house for the very first time to see the concerts, art show or the Festival of Trees. This project will have great economic impact to the village as well by drawing more people to this wonderful village.
We have several levels of giving for your convenience and all will be appropriately recognized.
Investor $10,000.00
Writer $7,500.00
Executive Producer $5,000.00
Producer $1000.00
Director $750.00
Thespian $500.00
Stagehand $100.00
Or we will place your name on a plaque on one of our chairs for $250.00 (this is an excellent way to remember a loved one)
The good news is that there are several ways to give and your donations are tax deductible!
1. You may send a check to the Pemberville Freedom Area Historical Society (or PFAHS) @ Box 802, Pemberville, Ohio 43450
