Soper-Reese and Lake County Friends of Mendocino College offer thanks for successful concert

Thank you to the professional pianists – Spencer Brewer, Elena Casanova and Elizabeth MacDougall from Mendocino County, and Tom Aiken, Tom Ganoung and David Neft from Lake County – who performed recently in the Professional Pianists Concert at the Soper Reese Theatre.

Thank you to young piano student Hana Consterdine who opened the show for the professionals.

The Soper Reese in association with the Lake County Friends of Mendocino College is proud to sponsor this annual program of talented musicians.

We are grateful to the generous sponsors who recognized the partnership opportunity this concert provided to support the arts and education in Lake County: Mendo Lake Credit Union; Lakeport Furniture; Peggy Campbell, CPA; Lincoln-Leavitt Insurance Agency; John Tomkins Tax Consultants; Rick and Judy McCann; Wright Contracting Inc.; David Browning, OD; Susie LaPointe; Jim and Wilda Shock; and Pat and Lori McGuire.  

Thank you to the donors of baskets and fine wines: Cheating Daylight and the Gill Family, Gloria Flaherty and the Lake Family Resource Center, Mendocino College Foundation, Judy Conard, Wally Holbrook, Susie LaPointe, Trena Pauly and Polestar Computers, Wilda Shock, Margaret Silveira, Rebecca Southwick and the Tallman Hotel.  

We appreciate the team of volunteers from the Soper Reese and the Lake County Friends that assisted with ticket sales, ushering, concession sales, raffle ticket sales, sound, lights and announcements.  Thank you to Doug Rhoades for being a masterful master of ceremonies.

We appreciate the Lake County media – Lake County Publishing, Lake County News, Middletown Times Star, Bicoastal Media and KPFZ-FM – for their continuing support.

Proceeds from ticket sales, the sponsorships, raffle ticket sales for bountiful baskets of Lake County products, and wines and refreshments sales resulted in proceeds that exceeded fundraising goals of both organizations.  

Thank you to our entire community for recognizing the value and importance of supporting our institutions and our partnership.
 
Michael Adams is executive director of the Soper-Reese Community Theatre in Lakeport, Calif., and Wilda Shock is chairperson of the Lake County Friends of Mendocino College.
