AS WE APPROACH THE END OF 2025, ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND THE ENTIRE OPEN BOOK PLAYERS BOARD, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO DONATED TO OUR FUNDRAISER…WE HAVE EXCEEDED OUR GOAL OF $1,000.00! WE SO APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT! LOOK FOR INFORMATION ON OUR NEXT PRODUCTION TO BE POSTED AFTER THE HOLIDAYS…IN THE MEANTIME, FROM OUR OBP FAMILY TO YOURS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We are now a bit over 90% of our fundraising goal!! Thanks to all who already contributed and the formal Thank You note will be in the mail by the end of the week. We have just about two weeks more to meet our goal of $1,000, so if you are able to contribute and support Open Book Players, please see the attached forms for more information. As Artistic Director of OBP, I am so grateful to everyone, especially to my Board members, and to anyone who has ever participated in our productions or who have been members of the audiences. Thank you from the bottom of my heart…and Happy Holidays to all of you!!!

We are only $325.00 away from meeting our goal of $1,000. If you are able to help us successfully reach our goal, it would be greatly appreciated. This will help us to meet our financial responsibilities regarding the performance space rental and royalties for our next production this spring. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization so your donation is tax deductible. Hoping to meet our deadline of December 31st! Thanks to all who have already donated…a formal Thank You note will arrive soon!

UPDATE…First of all, on behalf of the Open Book Players Board, I am hoping that you had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving shared with family and/or friends!
As regards our fundraising goal of $1,000, we are a bit higher than 1/2 way there! If you are able to help contribute to help us reach this goal, please check out the attached letter and sponsorship sheet that will provide you with this information. Remember that we are a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization which means your contribution is tax deductible. We are hoping to reach our goal by the end of December. Thanks to all who already contributed and hopefully we will hear from some of you in the near future. Please share and help us spread the word.

Dear Friends of Open Book Players…As we continue to celebrate our 30th year of offering a variety of performances and programs using our staged readers theatre format, it appears that we must now seek financial support above our usual box office proceeds. Our overhead is very low and our organization is completely run by volunteers, but our operating expenses have increased beyond our control. I am attaching my letter and the sponsorship form that describes our various levels of involvement which includes that of membership recognition or commercial ads, both added to our programs and advertising. Our goal is modest…to raise at least $1,000 before the end of the year. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which would make your donation tax deductible.
Thank you for your consideration and do feel free to share this information. As Artistic Director of Open Book Players, I am very proud of what we have done over the past 30 years, and with your help, we can continue to do so…Lucy
