RE: September 14th Friends of the Ritz Public Board Meeting

Toccoa, GA,

The Friends of the Ritz, Inc. will hold its quarterly public board meeting this Saturday, September 14th at 10:00 AM in the Historic Ritz Theatre. Anyone interested in supporting additional programming at the theatre, or learning more about the organization is encouraged to attend.

"Now that we have entered the active membership and fundraising stage it's even more important to have the support of the community as we reinvest donor dollars into actual on stage activities" says Friends of the Ritz, Inc. President Keith Kozicki.

The board will finalize plans for the group's very first fundraiser; the 80 for 80 Celebration, which takes place on Friday, October 18th. The organization's goal is to have eighty people donate $80 in honor of the Ritz Theatre's 80th year in existence. A number of special activities are planned for that evening including a screening of The Wizard of Oz, which was released the same year that the Ritz Theatre opened its doors in 1939. General Admission tickets for 80 for 80 Celebration are currently available on the Ritz Theatre's website and are $10 for adults and $8 for children and students with ID.
