Greetings from the Olde Coloma Theatre!

Our esteemed Board of Directors cordially invites you to come help us clean up and beautify the outside of our theatre on Saturday, May 16, starting at 9am. Our list of scheduled chores include, but are not limited to: weeding, weed-eating, raking, mowing, digging, cleaning sidewalks, plumbing, getting the van started and moved, cleaning up outside the Green Room door, and cleaning/scraping the cement floor of the auditorium.

Please come help us. The Board will be offering lunch to those who come help.
Feel free to bring extra yard tools (rakes, shovels, weeding equipment, gloves, etc.)

I look forward to seeing you there!

Melynda
Artistic Director,
Olde Coloma Theatre

Wanted: Secretary

We at the theatre doff our hats as our beloved secretary, Francesca Tipton, resigns from her position on the board.

Now on to the search for a new secretary for the board of directors. The position is rather easy; one must simply have basic organizational skills, take notes at the Board Meeting once each month, type up the notes (otherwise known as "minutes"), and email them to everyone on the list. The secretary can choose to be involved beyond those duties as much or as little as he or she chooses.

If anyone has a suggestion, nomination, or has any interest in the position themselves, please contact info@oldecolomatheatre.com

Thank you!
