THIS JUST IN
The Southbound Hollywood Freeway (101) will be closed down to TWO LANES from 10:00PM to 6:00 AM on Friday 9/30 to Monday October 3. This will affect the drive going home after the party. You may want to plan an alternate route if you use the 101 South. Thanks to Susan Bougetz for sending in this info!!
STORIES
Just wanted to thank everyone who sent in a story or memory. They have all been absolutely wonderful. We have received so much material that there was no way we could have possibly used everything we were sent. Please understand that we had to keep time constraints in mind while editing and compiling the "script". All stories sent to us will be posted on the website for everyone to read after the party. Some of the stories that we had to shorten will be restored to their original length on the website. If for any reason you do not want your story posted on the website please just email us at stories@celebrate-latc.org and let us know and we won't post your story. Again, big, big thanks to everyone for participating.
READERS
All Readers, you know who you are, please plan to arrive at the Theatre by 6:00PM SHARP! This is just so we can get everyone situated before the rush of arrivals.
MORE DETAILS
Just a little info about the evening. We will have two sign in tables set up in the lobby. One near the side/front entrance and one near the back/alley entrance. We will be asking everyone to sign in and give us some contact information so we will be able to have a really good contact list if we were to try and do this again in five years. We will then send you onto a table to pickup or fill out your name tag and then you will proceed into Theatre One. SO...you can see that it would really, really be helpful if you were all either just a teensy bit early or right on time. What would "right on time" be, you ask? Why 6:30 of course!
We're gonna have a photographer there to document the evening. After the party we will make the photos available through an online system such as Shutterfly.
We'll also have a DJ playing some nice dinner music and then some good dance tunes for dancing a little later.
DONATE DONATE DONATE
Big thanks to everyone who's already donated! If you haven't and can spare a little please do. Every $20, $40, $60, etc helps. We've got a really good crowd coming and we are doing our best to make sure we have everything we need for a spectacular evening. With your help, we will succeed with no trouble at all.
PAYPAL
Don't forget the PayPal button, it makes donating simple. You can just click on the button (located here on the Main Page and on the Donations Page) and it will walk you through the process of making your donation right here from the site. There is a small fee that we have to pay for the use of the PayPal system (something like 2.9% of the donation plus $0.30) but it's very convenient and we're hoping that will help some of you out there go ahead and send in your donation. You can use a credit card if you like or send it directly from your bank account. Because of this fee, if you were planning on sending in a large donation we would prefer that you send a check directly to Shashi Bhatter at the address provided on the Donations Page.
