Vermilion Allied Arts Council Presentation by Danielle Smith
Danielle is a representative of the social media and fundraising committee.
Allied Arts Council brings in entertainment to the Lakeland College Theatre (5 concerts will be held this year)
The Council has been active for 50 years.
Due to the rising cost of entertainment and lower attendance which has made it more difficult to maintain their programming and ticket prices.
Using a crowd funding program where the Government of Alberta will match up to $5000.
Example if they raise $5000 the government will make in the amount of $2500.
They need to receive the money by Aug 18
Asking for a donation of $1500 towards the Allied Arts Council
