USCG Vinyl Program

A Note From the SSM EDC:
In 2017 we launched the USCG Vinyl Program as a part of a larger goal to become a U.S. Coast Guard City. 40-60 NEW USCG families arrive each summer, and having a community that is welcoming is crucial to everyone’s success. This program can be beneficial to any business by creating free advertising on our website (saultedc.com/uscg) and with occasional pushes on social media, to get new customers into your business. We can also distribute your company information in the welcome binders that we distribute each summer to these incoming USCG families. If you are interested in participating simply email Tracey at [email protected]. The program is delivered at no-cost to the participants.

Soo Theatre Launches $640,500 Capital Campaign to Restore Exterior |
The Soo Theatre Board of Directors is enthused to announce the official kick-off of a capital campaign to restore the Building’s historic exterior, including the marquee, primary entrance, storefronts, upper windows, masonry, emergency exits and other features. Nancy Kirkpatrick, president of the Board, made the announcement. The decision to move forward with a phased approach to fully restoring the historic building follows a vote last year to move ahead with this phase, which is estimated at a cost of more than $640,500. The Soo Theatre was constructed in 1930 and has undergone many changes and alterations over the years. In 2003, the Soo Theatre Project, a non-profit organization was formed to purchase the building, vacant at the time, and began the nearly 20-year process of bringing the Theatre back into operation and restoring portions of the interior and exterior as funding has allowed. Colleen Arbic, who has served on the Board of Directors since 2003, and currently as Executive Director, believes it is time to launch another phase of the capital campaign to restore the exterior. She stated, “After years of reworking plans, working with engineers, architects, staff and volunteers, the Soo Theatre Board is confident that these plans should be put into action. Restoring the exterior is the right choice for this Knepper Development Strategies Phone: (906)630-0579 [email protected] 119 Peck Street Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 Facebook.com/knepperdevstrats moment. It will bring the building back to the beautiful look it had in the 1940’s. Just imagine being on Ashmun Street and seeing lights on the marquee once again!” The Soo Theatre Board engaged the assistance of former Downtown Development Director Justin Knepper, now with his own company, Knepper Development Strategies, to assist in fundraising efforts. Knepper has recently completed design and capital campaign print and social media materials and plans to schedule calls and meetings with key donors over the next few months. Knepper stated, “I believe the Soo Theatre is one of Sault Ste. Marie’s most important assets across the entire community. I am excited to work with the Soo Theatre Board and staff on this project; I cannot wait for the day when contractors start setting up their scaffolding and getting to work. Whether you can pledge $500,000 or five dollars, we appreciate every person, no matter where you live or where you’re from, donating to restore our City’s beautiful, historic Theatre.” “We owe a debt of gratitude to the many donors, countless numbers of volunteers, inkind service contributors, Board , committee members, and staff who have helped to upgrade the building. All of these people have made it possible to stage productions and start an arts education program that is unique in this area and that continues to grow”, Arbic stated. Arbic would also like to thank the Theatre Board of Directors and the creative staff who have worked so tirelessly to keep the Theatre operational during the COVID crisis, and who have supported the vision to launch a capital campaign at the beginning of 2021: Nancy Kirkpatrick, Board President Dawn Bumstead, Vice President Susan Camp, Secretary Carol Andary, Treasurer Brad Blair Michele Callaghan Brian Chapman, City Manager Laura Collins-Downwind Larry Jacques Leisa Mansfield Tom Ewing, Honorary Member Mary McKay, Honorary Member Karen Hughes Beacom, Artistic Director Maggie Twining, Education Director For further information regarding the Soo Theatre and the capital campaign, please visit www.sootheatre.org, contact Justin Knepper at [email protected], or call him at (906) 630—0579. |
