Gift giving arrived on Christmas Eve morning as Newtown Rotary Club President David Freedman presented a $500 check to Edmond Town Hall for its music series.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the Edmond Town Hall Board of Managers was Chairman Jennifer Chaudhary and Operations Manager Sheila E. Torres.

Ms Chaudhary said that the Edmond Town Hall is grateful for the Newtown Rotary Club’s support, because it is people and organizations like them that make it possible for the historic building at 45 Main Street to continue to deliver live events for residents and the surrounding community to enjoy.

With movie showings no longer meeting the financial needs for the theater, Ms Chaudhary said the group is expanding its focus to also host live entertainment, of all genres; as well as being a venue to book space.

Mr Freedman said that while this was the first donation his group has made to Edmond Town Hall, it certainly will not be its last.

He recognizes that “the vibrancy of the community happens here” and he hopes the donation can help bring more people in, including support from other regional Rotary Clubs.
