To the Editor:
We are overwhelmed and impressed by the recent community support for the Strand Theatre’s digital conversion project. Organizations such as the CAA, Old Forge Fire Department and Ambulance Corps, Polar Bear Ski Club, CAP-21, View, TOW Historical Association, and Cousins that Care, to name just a few that come to mind, have stepped forward to physically and financially support this project. Such efforts illustrate how important the Strand is to the communities that make up the Central Adirondacks.
Coincidentally, the Strand Theatre is celebrating 90 years of entertaining the community this summer. To recognize this milestone, a gala/fund raiser will be held under the BIG TOP on Thursday, July 25th, from 6 to 8 p.m. with a champagne toast and a video surprise presentation immediately following at the Strand.
The gala itself will be a good value for this special evening, with the intended result to financially assist Bob and Helen with necessary digital conversion.
We urge you to support this effort. All contributions are important regardless of size and scope.
Let’s keep the lights on at the Strand for another 90 years!
Sincerely,
Doc & Judy Foley,
Old Forge
