Dear Mr. Brown;
On behalf ofthe Board of Directors of Play Among The StarsTheatre Groupe, mc,. I would like to express our appreciation for the opportunity to participate in the games of chance as a community volunteer group.
Play Among the Stars in a non-profit organization for the physically and developmentally challenged. Based in Salem, serving special needs clients in Salem and its surrounding communities.
The purpose of our group is to enhance social skills, to provide knowledge of performing arts, dance and music ability, to further develop enrichment skills, personal challenges, relationship skills, language skills, physical and motor development, self esteem and confidence, and to have a sense of being involved in their community.
The opportunity to participate in this program came about halfway through the year, and I cannot begin to tell you what a blessing it has been. We are funded solely through various events that the Board of Directors chair, such as our annual golf tournament; Yankee Candle Iiindraiser; BBQ; Bowl-a Thon, etc. We do not write grants for State or Federal funding.
We provide transportation to our clients to and from weekly rehearsals, all Costumes and props for the two shows we produce each year, and rental space for those items, as well as all expenses incurred to produce the shows. We currently rent the Pleasant Street United Methodist Church, for rehearsal and Salem High School for the Shows. Our goal is to one day, have a "Play Among the Stars Theater". A place for us to contain our costumes and props. A place for our talented group to rehearse and perform. A Center for the Arts to share with the community.
As one of the volunteer organizations participating in this opportunity, I can’t begin to express how happy we are to be included. I have spoken with members from other groups participating, and I can say that we all appreciate the benefits of your business.
Granite State Poker and Rockingham Park have turned our dream into a goal. It is our hope that this business venture will continue for years to come, and that Play Among the Stars will continue to participate.
Once again, thank you for allowing us to be a part of this venture.
With much appreciation
Sincerely,
Diane Hatem
Play Among The Stars
