The Friends of the Ritz is the recipient of a $4,500 grant.

According to Friends of the Ritz President Keith Kozicki, the grant is being administered through the Hart EMC Foundation funded by its Operation Round Up program.

He says this grant, along with additional financial support from the City of Toccoa, will allow the nonprofit organization to purchase needed supplemental sound system equipment for the Historic Ritz Theatre.
