Tonight - Support CCEDC and Attend Local Theater

CCEDC's programs are supported by county, state and federal dollars. As budgets tighten the Dutchess Extension is moving toward greater reliance on grants and private donations.  Please join Center Stage Productions rendition of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” on July 1, 2011 at Rhinebeck Performing Arts Center.  Net proceeds of this show will benefit Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County

Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County has been offered a fund raising opportunity from the Rhinebeck Center for Performing Arts (http://www.centerforperformingarts.org/) !  The opening night of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds is tonight, Friday, July 1.  The organization that was to benefit from this show has had to withdraw and we have the opportunity to benefit!  Details below…

It is an 8:00 pm show with a post-show meet and greet with the cast (probably around 9:50 pm), at which The CENTER will serve our CCEDC attendees/donors complimentary wine and/or a soft drink and/or coffee and tea and/or water.

The ticket price for this event is: $50. Out of every $50, CCEDC gets $20; The CENTER keeps $24 as its normal ticket price and an additional $6 to defray all fund raising expenses.

Please contact The CENTER directly as they sell the tickets. Just call their box office at 845-876-3080 and say you wish to purchase a Cornell Cooperative Extension fund raiser ticket. You can pay via MasterCard, Visa, or Discover (no American Express). You can also purchase tickets at the door with the above credit cards or check or cash on the night of the event, though there is a risk of non-availability. Because of the short notice, all normal ticket processing fees are waived.

Again…you purchase a ticket for $50 and CCEDC receives $20 from each ticket; The CENTER sells the tickets, reserves the seats, provides the performance, and also provides a post-show meet and greet with the cast, at which you’re served unlimited complimentary beverages (wine, beer, soda, coffee, tea, water).

The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Dutchess County is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Cornell Cooperative Extension's (CCE) creation in New York State It began with a simple, practical, brilliant idea to connect the knowledge, resources, and research of Cornell University with the people of New York State. To help them tackle challenges. Take care of their families. Build businesses. And improve communities. All while working collaboratively, for a greater good.
