IMPORTANT message from Fred, Noah, Dan and Conrad - PLEASE READ
by Fred Sternfeld 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Dear Subscribers, We hope you had a fantastic holiday season and that live performance opportunities are starting to open up once again for you, or your organization. The last (almost) two years have been tough on everybody. As you might be aware, every year we normally do a one month campaign asking for contributions in support of Neohiopal. Last year we decided not to do a formalized campaign at all since so many people and organizations were so adversely impacted economically. Even with no campaign for funds, some of you generously contributed anyway. Those people (and also from 2020) who contributed and chose to have their name or organization listed are at this link <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal/northeast-ohio-performing-arts-list-…> . This email is the launch of our one month campaign for contributions to support Neohiopal. If it is within your means, or your organization's budget to contribute, your support is greatly appreciated. NEohioPAL is now in its 24th year of providing people like you a valuable tool that draws together Northeast Ohio's arts community. Your donation keeps this unique performing arts resource alive and free to all readers and posters. NEohioPAL supporters are performers, artists and arts lovers who recognize the value of staying in touch with our region's arts scene. They are also people who realize that we have some very real expenses: web hosting, bandwidth, utilities, supplies and our time keeping the site free of SPAM and running smoothly. If you have ever learned of an audition, found a job, promoted your event or had a great night out at a performance, please consider supporting our efforts through a donation. To donate, please go to http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/. At that site you will find many ways to volunteer your financial support: Paypal, Venmo, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Zelle or by check. Here are suggestions to help you decide what to donate: 3 cents per day = $10 per year 14 cents per day = $50 per year 20 cents per day = $75 per year *27 cents per day = $100 per year* *50 cents per day = $182.50 per year* *1 dollar per day = $365 per year* Thanks for your participation in making the arts scene in Northeast Ohio vibrant and collaborative. Warm Regards, Fred Sternfeld <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…> NEohioPAL founder and administrator Noah Budin <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…>, Daniel Alpern NEohioPAL associate administrators Conrad Yoder Webmaster P.S. We will post this message to NEohioPAL several times over the next month. After that, we will not do a direct "ask" again until this time next year. If a modest donation is not in your budget this month, information on how to support NEohioPAL will always be in the footer of each message. http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/
