KING’S ACADEMY

The dates for the King’s Academy Dinner Theater have been set for May 2 and May 9. Barb Kennedy and Debbie Fukuda are co-chairing the committee in charge of this fundraiser, and planning is already underway to make this event a success. Since many companies and organizations do their charitable giving either during the holidays or directly at the start of the new year, we would like to seize the day in getting sponsors for the event. Below is information on the kind of sponsors and donations we are looking for. Please read it and see how you can help make the Dinner Theater fundraiser a success.

There are two different kinds of sponsors that we are looking for this year. The first is an Event Sponsor. To be an Event Sponsor for the Dinner Theater, a company, organization, or individual must donate $500 (tax-deductible). In return, the donor will get its name on the tickets, on the front of the program, and on a big banner hung up at the venue. Since we are having two showings, we have the opportunity to have two Event Sponsors.

The second kind of sponsor that we are looking for is a Table Sponsor. To be a Table Sponsor for the Dinner Theater, a company, organization, or individual must donate $100 (tax-deductible). In return, the donor will get its name in the program and a full color flyer inside of a table tent on one of the tables.

You can help us find sponsors for the Dinner Theater among your contacts and circle of acquaintances. If you know someone who would like to become either an Event Sponsor or a Table Sponsor, please contact Barb Kennedy. She will arrange to collect the sponsor’s money and get the sponsor’s information for the program. Barb’s phone number is 503-307-0669. Her e-mail address is barbkennedy@kw.com.

Besides sponsors who will donate money, we also need to find donors for the auction and the raffle. Raffle and auction items could be almost anything: gift certificates for a product or a service, concert tickets, gift baskets from a business, etc. If you know someone who would like to donate a product or service, please contact Debbie Fukuda with their name, number, address, and description of the item to be donated. Debbie’s phone number is 503-631-4163. Her e-mail address is S18025@aol.com.

The King’s Academy Choir had two performances last week: one for the Oregon City Pastors’ Prayer Luncheon and one for the Love INC fundraiser. For both of these performances, we sang “The Midnight Cry,” a song from the Southern Harmony tradition with lyrics about the parable of the seven wise and seven foolish virgins. The attendees at the Pastors’ Luncheon responded very enthusiastically to our performance, and one of the pastors has invited to us to sing special music for a worship service at his church in December–so if we can work that into the calendar, we may have another music performance coming up.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are being held Wednesday, November 7, at RCC. Each family should have received an e-mail telling them what time they should come that evening. If you are unable to make your time slot, please e-mail Rose Lortz at roselz18@yahoo.com so that she can arrange a different time for you.

The King’s Academy Choir has been invited to sing at the Love INC Fundraiser on Friday, November 9, at the Abernethy Center in Oregon City. The event starts at 7:00 p.m., but we’re not sure yet what time slot we have in the program.

King’s Academy’s choir will be performing at the Oregon City pastors’ luncheon which will be held at Reformation Covenant Church on Wednesday, November 7, at 11:30 a.m.
