HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
20th Anniversary Year! The GNWCA was born on May 3, 2003, during a community summit hosted by the Upper Connecticut Valley Community Coalition. We are currently installing BRAND NEW indoor restrooms in the theater building--and need your help! We are asking for donations of $20.00 per person (the price of a general admission ticket!) to be used toward the renovations. If we raise more than enough funds, there are other projects that need help as well! |
