Jim
Steele introduced our
speaker, Dan Donaldson
today. Jim’s been working
with the Theatre since 1998,
and notes that with Dan’s
arrival, there is a new
shining light & a new
direction with the Capitol
Group. Dan hails from the
Milton area & is a Member of
the Downtown Chatham Club.
 Dan
showed a brief pictorial of
the Theatre in recent
months, using photos by
Klaus Anderson. Photos will
be bound in a book, for
sale, upon completion.
Last fall the 3rd
Floor Lobby was begun
showing, till now with the
entire auditorium floor up
to the stage & Orchestra Pit
being accessible. Intrepid
General begins pile driving
next week for the beginnings
for the Fly Tower.
Dan
mentions that today is the
planned launch date of their
new site
www.chathamcapitoltheatre.com
Check it out to keep
apprised of the ongoing
construction.
Dan is
well aware of the
controversy that circulates
about the community & he
welcomes the opportunity to
meets groups likes us, to
speak out & get things
straight for all to know.
The Theatre will create
jobs, will create new
business & will add value.
It even opens a new range of
opportunities in partnering
with the Kiwanis Theatre
people. Many examples were
named on how live
performances, with
creativity & art make a
positive imprint on people.
Ivan
thanked Dan for his visit
today, offering a Literary
Angels book, “The Best Book
To Read” in Dan’s honour.
Have a Great Rotary Week!
