WOW Hall Membership Party
2019 WOW Hall Membership Party
The Board of Directors and staff of the Community Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) wants to thank everyone who supported the 44rth Anniversary WOW Hall Membership Party held on Saturday, December 14. Many of the members who attended this year’s event commented that it was the best ever.
One of the things that made it special was the music. I want to give a big thank you to all of our entertainers: Dan Mahoney, Gumbo Groove Duo, The Muddy Souls and Cap’n Trips plays Bob Dylan. All of them volunteered their efforts. They deserve your applause and appreciation.
Thank you to our business donors. Eighty-four businesses donated food, beverages, flowers, decorations and gift certificates! Donating businesses were announced from the stage and applauded by the audience.
Of course, this event (or, for that matter, any WOW Hall event) would not be possible without volunteers! A big shout out goes to the many volunteers who helped with this event, including all the members of our board of directors. A lot of staff people volunteered time, too.
This annual event is put on to thank the members and supporters of the Community Center for the Performing Arts. The CCPA is a nonprofit, tax-exempt arts organization (501C-3; federal tax identification number 51-0191790) that enjoys the financial support of over 800 individuals, families and businesses in maintaining and operating the historic Woodmen of the World Hall as an all-ages performing arts venue. In addition, the organization benefits from the time commitment of hundreds of people who are active volunteers.
Here’s a complete list of this year’s contributors. Please support the businesses and organizations that support our event, and if you have the chance, thank them for donating to the membership party.
