Earlville Opera House thanks its volunteers

EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House celebrated its 40th Season this year with wonderful community support. 
“Another successful year of varied and outstanding musical performances would not have been possible without our fabulous volunteers, and we would like to express our sincere thanks to all our volunteers who helped make the 2011 season a success,” said Executive Director Patti Lockwood-Blais. “We are so fortunate to have wonderful artists, bakers, board members, cashiers, servers and ushers who become a part of the EOH volunteer staff. Thank you for your generosity!”
Volunteers at the Earlville Opera House sell tickets, distribute concessions, hand out programs, collect ticket stubs, host our galleries, help in the Arts Café, bake delicious desserts, staff the Holiday Sale, help with mailings, staff the Gift Shop, and help us with any other odd jobs that need to be done – even fixing computers! Without their help, the Opera House season would not be possible. ”Our deepest gratitude goes to all those who volunteer their time and expertise,” Lockwood-Blais said.
 Helping during the 2011 season were: Harriett Adamson, Dave Barker, Marge Bates, Bruna Belfort, Ron Blackmore, Esther Brill, Amy Burns, Candace Cain, Tena Cohen, Emily Cook, Christina Davis, Chelsea DeForest, Jim and Judy deMuro, Dave Folta, Liz Friedel, Harry Graves, Marsha Gusewich, Wells Horton, and family; Albert Handley, Liz Harris, Dottie Hauk, Valerie Heischman, Chris Hoffman, Marni Horton, Vivien Hull, Nettie Jeffrey, Susan Kmiec, Elaine Lambert, Jon Ianitti, Paula Larkin, Craig Lawson, Tamie Leslie and Adam Schoonmaker, Theresa Loring, Jim Loveless, Frank and Pat Mazzeo, Ed Meyer, Freda Micari, Chase Miller, Kellyann Monaghan, Gina Murtaugh, Richard Newman, Judy Oliver, Elizabeth Olsen, Karen Pitts, Pam Powell, Tom Rasely, Carol and Lulu Riley, RJ Ruble, Lynn Rugg and Steve Tuttle, Robin Ryberg, Alexis Seepo, Dierdre Service, Yolanda Sharpe, Becky Smith, Michael Stagnaro, Lynette Stephenson, Gail Strout, David and Ellen Suarez, Caleigh and Kevin Tuttle, Ken Valente, Donna & Jean van de Bogart, Theresa Van Heusen, Norm von Wettberg, Steve White, and Susan Young.
  A very special thanks is due to Rosemary Jaytanie for all her bookkeeping support! Steven Blais, whose expertise was evident during every Earlville Opera House performance, provided many hours of sound engineering.  Maggie Caton, a student at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute School of Art in Utica, spent many summer hours as an intern at the Earlville Opera House.
At least two EOH Board members volunteered for every show this year, and their professionalism and enthusiasm set a great example for other volunteers. These exemplary Board members include Zach Collins, Putter Cox, Ruth Ann Loveless, Joyce Nevison, Dode Page, Mark Shiner, Reyna Stagnaro, Jonathan Vaughn, and Merle von Wettberg.
Committees meet year round to program the theater and the Arts Café; decide on gallery shows and arts education events; oversee facility maintenance; and steer fundraising efforts. The Earlville Opera House benefits greatly from their thoughtful advice. Thanks to Putter Cox and Steven Blais (Building Committee); Ruth Ann Loveless, Merle von Wettberg, Lauri Tomberlin, and Hariette Adamson (Gallery Committee); Dode Page and Harriette Adamson (New Developments Committee); Joyce Nevison, Ed LaCorte, and McEwan van der Mandele (Budget and Finance Committee); Putter Cox, Zach Collins, Steven Blais, Randy Muth, Reyna Stagaro, and Mark Shiner (Programming Committee); and Jonathan Vaughn, Kristian Newman, Carol Riley, and Colleen Law-Tefft (Youth Development and Arts and Education Committee). 
The Earlville Opera House Multi-Arts Center is located at 18 East Main Street in Earlville.  Office and Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday – Friday and Noon to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.  This year’s Holiday Sale, with over 70 artists and crafters, will be held on Friday, Nov. 25; Saturday/Sunday, Nov. 26 and 27, Dec. 3 and 4, Dec. 10 and 11, Dec. 17 and 18; and a special Late Shopper’s Day on Friday, Dec. 23.  Hours are 10-4 on the first and last Friday and all Saturdays and Noon-4 on all Sundays.  For more information, call 315-691-3550 or visit www.earlvilleoperahouse.com.
