that this approach will not take advantage
of a once in a lifetime opportunity to create

financial goals. I would suggest that a
community-wide market survey, as well as Elegant,
in-depth conversations with arts organizations Comfortable,
and potential users, donors and community
leaders, could easily direct your organization Durable,
toward a restoration and rebuilding project
that, when finished, would create a theatre Stackable
that will be used by many organizations
and meet needs in the community that
heretofore have, perhaps, gone unspoken. (978)827-3103 www.eustischair.com
