Lincoln Theatre Advisory Committee Meeting
The Lincoln Theatre Center Foundation Board of Directors and Staff want to have input from members, volunteers and all Lincoln Theatre lovers as we near our 100th Anniversary by forming an Advisory Committee. These Lincoln supporters will work with board members and staff to offer ideas or suggestions that strengthen the theatre’s mission, secure our place in the community, and serve as a sounding board for future projects and campaigns. Informal meetings will be held quarterly, or as determined by the committee members, with different planned topics of discussion at each meeting. Our first meeting will be held on August 15 at 6:00pm. The topic: How do we encourage member participation at our annual meeting in September? This is a great way to support the Lincoln without a huge time commitment. Interested? Contact Executive Director Roger Gietzen via roger@lincolntheatre.org or 360.419.7129 x100 or our Board of Directors via board@lincolntheatre.org.
