Henry is 10 years old and wants to save the Edna Theatre.

Several weeks ago, after he learned that the Texana Arts Council had purchased the Theatre, Henry marched into my office and pledged to do whatever he could to help preserve this landmark building.

You know the future is bright when our kids are willing to do what they can to make our community better.

Henry had thought a lot about saving the Theatre and had even come up with a fundraising slogan, "Bring Edna Back to Light."

This is exactly what the Texana Arts Council is committed to doing--preserving and restoring the Edna Theatre and bringing it back to light. Years of disuse have left the historic building in need of major and costly repairs.

The first phase of restoration is to repair and replace the Theatre's roof. This will be a large expense and your help is critically important.

Will you partner with us, and Henry, by making a generous gift to help save the Theatre and Bring Edna Back to Light?

Before Henry left my office, he let me know how important saving the Edna Theatre was to him.

Saving the Theatre is much more than just preserving and restoring a historic building.

It's about having a place within our community where you and your family and friends can gather and listen to live music, enjoy film festivals, watch plays, laugh at comedians, be inspired by motivational speakers, and awed by story tellers.

It is also about enriching the lives of young and old through a wide array of family-friendly entertainment, educational programs, and scholarships.

We hope you will make Henry's vision, and ours, a reality!
