What's Been Happening?
Eden Valley's Thirtieth year has been busy. Today is November 11 and we have already had 25 Performances which were attended by more than 1300 people! We premiered a brand new show in New Philadelphia in April – THE DONAHEYS: ARTISTS AND POLITICIANS – and in June we participated in the Ashland Chautauqua on Sports and Society to name but two activities. Most recently we presented a special music program for Holly Holcombe's wedding. Ms. Holcombe has been a supporter of Eden Valley for more than 15 years. She has worked with us to produce special programs at both the Western Reserve Historical Society and the SS. W.G. Mather museum. For her wedding she asked me to write and narrate a program with music detailing the unusual love story of her and now-husband Bruce Tomasch. OUR STORY (which featured performer Elisa Singer and pianist Marcia Snavely with sound effects by Michael Higgins) provided the backdrop to their exchange of vows. Michael also made a CD recording of the program for the bride and groom. We were honored to be included in this special ceremony for our staunch supporter and my good friend. All of us at Eden Valley wish her and Bruce a long and happy life together. (In case you're wondering what made their story so special — they were separated for 30 years before finding each other again!)
Other things in the offing include a new addition to our website. We have recently joined PayPal and you will soon be able to purchase all of Eden Valley's publications directly from our website. Be sure to check our publications page for news of when this system becomes available. For those of you who prefer to pay by check, there will still be a downloadable order form to fill out and mail in. OH! And it's NOT too late to order our Christmas Cards or books for the Holidays!
As always, you can also go directly to Amazon.com from our publications page. These purchases also help support Eden Valley's programs – so remember to go to EVE website before you place an order at Amazon.com
This year we have also joined the GoodSearch.com.When you need to do a search on the internet, using GoodSearch.com (instead of Google, Yahoo, etc.) and listing Eden Valley as your charity of choice, every search you make also makes a donation to EVE. These donations help support Eden Valley's programs.
We look forward to continuing our work in providing unique theatrical experiences and we thank all of our supporters over the past 30 years for joining us in our educational efforts. I look forward to seeing you at one of our programs in the near future.
Always,
— ¡ Bette Lou Higgins ! —
