A Successful Beginning

Since receiving Orrin and Terri Thiessen’s generous gift of our auditorium and gallery space, we have raised over $75,000 to fund interim repairs, minor renovations, and day-to-day operations. Now that ground has broken on the Harmony Village project, there are many new opportunities for donors in our Capital Campaign.

Volunteer Opportunities

For OCA events, we need people to prepare mailings, make phone calls, set up chairs and tables, take tickets, usher, serve food and clean up.

 

To prepare for renovations, we will need demolition and construction help.

We currently need landscaping.

 

The gallery is looking for help with exhibits, gallery sitting, and needs help patching and re-painting the walls.

 

For those who want to embrace a stewardship role, we are accepting applications to join our Board of Directors.
