A Very Rare Request from our Bell Tower Cultural Center Community

When our historic building was built, electricity was still in its infancy. Electrical service was added during the early years of electrical technology, long before anyone could have imagined the power requirements of today's sound systems, theatrical lighting, emergency equipment, computers, internet connectivity, and other technology necessary to operate a modern cultural venue.

We need to raise approximately $12.500 to complete several important improvements, including:

A new and upgraded electrical service panel
New emergency exit signs and emergency lighting
Improved electrical support for current and future safety equipment
Internet connectivity and infrastructure needed for the advanced equipment now required to operate a venue like the Bell Tower
Additional wiring and electrical capacity for musicians, sound equipment, and program lighting

Until now, we have never directly asked our community for specific financial assistance. We have worked hard to operate responsibly with voluntary contributions and ticket sales that have improved our programming and makes the Bell Tower a place that belongs to everyone.

It is not simply something that would be "nice to have." It is an investment in the safety, future, and continued usefulness of a 162-year-old community landmark that is once again serving the people of Martins Creek, Lower Mt. Bethel Township, and our surrounding areas.

If the Bell Tower has brought you an enjoyable evening of music, introduced you to a new friend, taught you something new, provided a place to gather with neighbors, or simply made you proud to see something positive happening in our community, we hope you will consider helping us with this important project.

· Every contribution matters. Community gifts of $25, $50, $100, or $250 are greatly appreciated. Those contributing $500 will be recognized as Major Electrical Donors, while gifts of $1,000 or more will be recognized at the Electrical Leadership Donor level. Whatever amount is comfortable for you will help bring us closer to our $12,500 goal.

The Bell Tower Cultural Center is operated by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
