Insulation project begins!

One important project for the new West Point Community Theatre is making it energy efficient.
Thanks to the volunteers who helped last week in removing the old ceiling behind stage, professionals were able to start this week on the insulation project. These photos include workers spraying on insulation to the ceiling high above the stage.

Theatre Work Week

The West Point Community Theatre is having a work week to prepare the Theatre for installing insulation above the stage area. We will meet at the Theatre at 5 pm Monday, August 31^st. The project’s main focus will be removing the false ceiling above the stage so that the insulation contractors can access the 40 foot loft area with scaffolding.

Everyone is welcome to help. We will serve food to the volunteers at about 6:30 pm on Monday. Please call Tom Wellman at 380-9246, or Jerry Hugo at 372-5742 to find out what tools would be helpful, and for more detail on the project.

We will be working from 5-9pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. Wednesday will be a general cleanup of the Theatre to get it ready for the weekend movies. We also welcome anyone who has time to work during the day on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This project is a “Hands-On” Project through Thrivent Financial Services. Thrivent will provide funding to help with the insulation project. Members of Thrivent are encouraged to come and help out.

VOLUNTEER ONLINE!

You can now sign up to help at the movie theatre online! It's very easy! Just click on this link:

Once you're there, you enter your email address and you'll receive a message with instructions on how to volunteer. It really works great! You can pick the dates you want to volunteer, see who else is already signed up, and then add your name to the list -- as many times as you want, for whichever movies are still in need of volunteers.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
It's been quite a project so far -- creating a movie theatre inside the West Point Community Theatre building! Along with tremendous financial support from our community, volunteers put in thousands of hours to create it. And we've got quite a list of volunteers who are now helping to operate it for four movies every weekend.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP?
We need about four to five people in the concession stand, and a couple people to take tickets for each movie. Volunteers show up at 6:15 for a 7:30pm movie (12:45 for a 2:00pm matinee) to get everything ready. Ticket takers are usually done about 20 minutes after the movie begins, and the concession stand volunteers are usually done about a half hour before the end of the movie. We do ask that everyone stick around to help clean up the theatre after the movie -- it usually takes about 20 minutes, depending on the crowd.

If you'd rather volunteer by phone, that's fine too! Just call Mary Kreikemeier at 402-380-0687. Leave a message and Mary will call you back!
