Friends of the Ritz seeks volunteers

The Historic Ritz Theatre at The Schaefer Center is looking for a few good friends, to make up its new organization dedicated to raising funds for additional programming and building enhancements for the historic theatre.

The Friends of the Ritz will hold its initial meeting this evening at 5 p.m. at the Ritz Theatre.

The purpose of this meeting is to select volunteers who would be willing to serve as board members.

The Historic Ritz Theatre General Manager Keith Kozicki tells WNEG News about what he hopes the new group can achieve.

According to Kozicki, by participating in the Friends of the Ritz, you would have a hand in guiding the future of the Ritz Theatre and influence program decisions.

Currently, the group is looking for individuals with skills in marketing, legal affairs, publicity, sponsor development and membership; however, Kozicki encourages anyone and everyone to come out and get involved.

Again, the first meeting of the Friends of the Ritz will meet today at 5 p.m. in the Historic Ritz Theatre.
