Dear Friend of the WOW Hall,

   Please take a minute to consider becoming a supporting member of the
Community Center for the Performing Arts, the nonprofit organization that
operates the  WOW Hall.

   A 501c3 organization that is owned by the community, the CCPA is
dedicated to providing arts and educational opportunities for all ages and
income levels, preserving an officially designated historic landmark and
helping support local artists and new creative efforts.  Our diverse
programming includes local, regional and international acts (readers of
Eugene Weekly have repeatedly named the WOW Hall Eugene¹s ŒBest Live Music
Venue¹ and ŒBest All-Ages Hangout¹).

   Basic operations at the WOW Hall are largely self-funded through ticket
sales, rentals and concessions.  This is possible because of a dedicated
staff, an active board and a large group of volunteers.  The CCPA currently
involves more than 400 volunteers each year.  The volunteer program provides
youth with educational and leadership-building opportunities.  Funds from a
new Lane County Cultural Coalition grant will increase outreach while
building partnerships with local community agencies.

   Several major projects have been completed in the past year.  All were
made possible by generous funding from other organizations.  The new Main
Hall heating, ventilation and cooling system and sound attenuation projects
were funded by Metropolitan Affordable Housing, Inc. and the City of Eugene.
The exterior restoration project was funded with a Preserving Oregon grant
from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department State Historic Preservation
Office Heritage Programs and the generous donations of private donors.  The
refurbished cellar was funded by the band Floater and includes a fantastic
rendering of the WOW Hall lotus symbol painted by the band Grynch.

   Since our inception in 1975, the CCPA has relied on community support.
Membership not only supports our artist programming and historic
preservation efforts, CCPA members elect and may serve on the Board of
Directors.  Members are kept informed with a monthly newsletter and invited
to celebrate at our annual Membership Party.  We invite you to become
actively involved in your Community Center for the Performing Arts.
Memberships are available on a sliding scale basis (most people join for
between $15 and $45 a year) and all contributions are tax deductible and
qualify the donor to make a matching grant to the Oregon Cultural Trust that
is a state income tax credit.

Thank you for your time.
