At the recent annual board meeting Theatre Lac Brome officially announced a new fundraising campaign: Looking Forward to 2021\u2026 and Beyond. The goal of this campaign is to hopefully raise $500,000 over the period of two years. \u201cJean-Claude, the president, has been thinking about how we are going to financially be sustainable\u201d said Olivia Enns, \u201cit\u2019s been a couple of months if not years the board has been thinking how do we think forward? So, this has been awhile in coming, but I am very excited that it has come to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Donations. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As for the donations they are for \u201ca plethora of things; that\u2019s why we want to make every donation count\u201d mentioned Madame Enns. Anyone from the community or the country, in fact, is able to donate. However, the fun part is that when donating the donor is able to choose where exactly their money goes. \u201cEvery donation can be made with a specific goal in mind, so, for instance if you want to give money to costumes for a play that\u2019s definitely an option.\u201d Not only is it money well spent, but you know where your money is being spent. \u201cThe idea is that people can give a $20 donation that counts as much as a $200,000 donation. The point is that every donation counts.\u201d said Madame Enns contently.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Campaign Promoters.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This fundraising campaign will include a set of co-presidents: Susan Pepler and Yves Desjardins Siciliano. A very popular name in town, Madame Pepler, is a visual artist and Monsieur Desjardins Siciliano, a new resident of town, is a prominent businessman being the CEO of Siemens Mobility. Among other things the main role of the co-presidents \u201cis to help make the donate page even more accessible and user friendly\u201d added Madame Enns. \u201cSusan is fantastic for her marketing. She is a people person. She is good at getting peoples interest and she is approachable\u201d mentioned Madame Enns. On the other hand, \u201cYves is a forward thinker; a visionary. He is actually responsible for modernizing Via Rail. He is good at thinking how we can turn this company around and make it into something people are proud of\u201d noted Madame Enns. It is safe to say the theatre is in good hands and is being set up for nothing but success. Madame Enns concluded in saying \u201cthe pandemic has thrown many curve balls and we are dodging them as best we can, and we cross our fingers for 2021 that we can have a full season and get back on our feet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the recent annual board meeting Theatre Lac Brome officially announced a new fundraising campaign: Looking Forward to 2021\u2026 and Beyond.
