Happy New Year everyone!I'm gathering intel on places to have fundraising events in Northeast Ohio.The biggest consideration is cost. Are their places with non profit discounts or that are willing to comp the use of their facility in exchange for sponsorship listing or in kind services?Access is also important - central location, good parking, handicap accessible. Stage or no stage, catering options, capacity of the site are all things I would like to hear about.Looking forward to hearing from a variety of people and on their own experiences. You know, the inside info places might not put on their websites. :-)Thank you !Margaret | | | | | Margaret Reardon Margaret Reardon Marketing LLC | | | | | | M 440-292-7739 E margaret_reardon(a)att.net W www.margaretreardon.biz | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Do you have a theatre that puts on youth productions? Or is your child involved in a youth theatre company that deserves to be recognized for the amazing productions that they put on? I would like to invite you to participate in the First Annual Ohio Youth Arts Awards, a program that recognizes and promotes the young artists of Northeast Ohio and encourages them to always embrace their creativity. We will have adjudicators who are educated and versed in theatre go to see participating theatre’s shows, both straight plays and musicals. They will nominate productions, actors, directors, and crew, and we will have an awards ceremony featuring performances from the nominated shows each year. Membership is free for theatres their first year. All you have to do is donate two tickets for an adjudicator to come see the show. So moms, tell your theatres that this is something that you want for your theatre. If you want to continue, it's $95 for the year, plus the donation of two tickets to each show that you would like us to come to. The membership fee will pay for the rentals of the venue for the awards ceremony, website fee and advertising. About me: A totally right brained arts person with a lot of intellectual degrees, I am a former SAG/AFTRA/Equity actress who trained directly with Sanford Meisner. I teach Meisner Technique, commercial audition technique, scene study and audition prep classes through Baldwin Wallace Community Services and my own venture, Actors Conservatory Ohio. I am an award winning master commercial photographer, I am the editor in chief of two magazines and in my fre time, I am an acrylic wave painter. I worked with the National Youth Awards for young artists in Arizona and California as an adjudicator and was also on their board, and I saw the confidence that the awards brought to the children there, which is why I'm bringing the awards to Ohio. If you would like to hear more, donate to our upcoming scholarship fund, or join us in this self esteem building venture, please let me know as soon as possible.
