December 15th 2010: Support Willamette Shakespeare and State-wide Culture

2009 will be remembered for many things, both exhilarating and troubling, but we will always look back on this year as the one in which Willamette Shakespeare made its debut. We continue to be in awe of the extraordinary welcome and support we received from everyone who attended our performances of As You Like It and those who generously donated both their time and money to our efforts. As everyone knows, free Shakespeare still has a cost - and we'll be continuing the tradition we began in 2009 with more free performances next summer. We hope you will help ensure our ability to deliver that promise with a new or additional contribution before December 31.

If you are interested in contributing, you can do so by writing a check made out to Willamette Shakespeare and sending it to 120 SE Irvine St. McMinnville, OR 97128. You can also donate via PayPal by visiting our website.

And while you are thinking about your year-end giving, please be sure to match whatever you give to Willamette Shakespeare (and other cultural institutions) with an equal donation to The Oregon Cultural Trust. When you participate in the Trust's fundraising program, the State of Oregon rewards you with a tax credit for 100% of your gift to the Trust.
