Upcoming Comedy Shows to Benefit Local Causes

MESSAGE FROM
Curious Comedy Productions

Hello Curious Comedy Community –

Curious Comedy Theater has been growing by leaps and bounds. But, today we are asking for your help to keep thriving. We need to raise $10,000 by the end of 2010 to pay for a railing the fire inspector is requiring us to install on our mezzanine and related expenses. Luckily, the finished railing will also serve as the first step in completing and opening our mezzanine balcony. Please give what you can. Every donation large or small makes a huge difference. You can make your donation on line here at the longest link ever: https://robot.boxofficetickets.com/800-494-TIXS/WebObjects/BOTx2005.woa/wa/inspectSubprogram?id=881935&passKey=c154bd10a7
But we don’t just want to ask for things – so we are also giving back this season through our many partnerships. All shows are at 8pm, doors at 7:15pm. See www.curiouscomedy.org for more details:

Support King School and Get Your Books!

Posted on by

Don’t dread the holiday shopping season–it can be for a good cause! King School is holding its second-annual bookfair fundraiser at the Lloyd Center Barnes and Noble store on the 27th. That’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving from noon to 5:00pm. There will be performances by one of Cleveland High School’s choral groups; King students will read their stories; volunteers will lead fun activities for the kids; and PTA volunteers will be gift wrapping all day–open to close. All you need to do is bring your shopping list and print out a voucher to give to the cashier. The vouchers are at: www.pps.k12.or.us/schools/king/.

Every purchase you make, including the in-store cafe and e-readers, will support King’s ongoing programs that raise student achievement and enrichment. Even if you don’t have shopping to do, stop by and meet the PTA and enjoy the entertainment. Find out about how parents are striving to build bridges between the school and the larger community.
