Denis Theatre Moves Along

A volunteer with the Denis Theatre renovation passed along this note that circulated recently:

Dear Denis Theatre supporter,

WOW! That is what we keep saying over and over when we talk about what happened on Saturday [May 17]! You emptied every basement, found every loose seat and hauled literally TONS of materials! The amount that got done exceeded even our wildest dreams, and we are incredibly excited about the level of support and enthusiasm that you showed, and that we hope is reflective of the whole community.

Here are some of the "stats":- There were 83 volunteers, including elementary school children and retirees.- Over 200 person-hours of time were contributed.- The salvageable metal that you hauled out filled a 30 cubic yard trailer to the brim (as soon as we know the exact weight we'll let you know). - You didn't complain, whine or point out obstacles to success. Instead you laughed, encouraged, offered to help at
future events and came up with great ideas and suggestions that we had never
thought of!

All during that day our official (volunteer) photographer, David Rutherford, was snapping pictures of your efforts. Those pics are posted on the web site through the Volunteer page, and you can also click on the link below to see them.

or as a visitor.Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing the dream! See you at the Denis!
