1. PARTY UPDATE

By now, many of you may have received an invitation to our 30th anniversary party on October 27th! If you haven't and you've worked for us in the past, please check out the
party page on our brand new website at
www.kaleidoscopechildrenstheatre.com/30thparty.htm.

Once at the website, fill out a sign up form and mail it (and your check) to Kaleidoscope Theatre (65 Freedom Dr. Cranston, RI 02920) to reserve your spot at the party!

Don't be left out, everyone must RSVP by the end of September!

Please let other members know about the party... trying to track down 30 years of kaleidoscopians is quite the daunting task! We don't have current addresses and phone numbers for many of our former members and we want to make sure everyone who wants to come can do so! Spread the word!
