The mission is to open the theatre. false false 2024 was a year for planning and estimating: as well as grant writing and management. The Foundation took some time off from managing capital construction to raise more funds for construction and continue to plan the final iteration of the theater. While simultaneously working with the Department of Commerce regarding the Economic Development Administrations grant, weve put a lot of bandwidth into applying for and managing other grant opportunities that serve easter Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. However, the Foundations sights are still set on publishing an invitation to bid in late February of 2025 to solicit a contractor that will finish this historic preservation project. This level of grant management and project planning takes time, and it takes energy. Our all-volunteer board worked hard throughout 2024 to ensure a successful 2025, and we are excited to cash in the fruits of our labor this year to oversee the completion of our beloved theater. In 2023 the foundation was focused on prioritizing meeting the requirements for the Economic Development Administration grant that was awarded in late 2022. The foundation made great progress and expects to solicit bids in Q1 of 2024 for a contractor to finish the project by Q3 of 2024 The Auditorium ceiling was completely finished: Lighting and fire suppression installations were completed and ceiling painted. This included the designing and painting of the chandeliers medallion on the ceiling around the point where the chandelier is hung from. The restored chandelier was also installed and lit up for the first time since 1959. Shortly after that, the large temporary work platform was removed. This platform was in place for about 22 months and allowed crews to work on the restoration of the ceiling froma stable and flat floor only 12 feet below the ceiling. After the removal of the work platform, crews turned their focus to framing. The large, curved walls that transition from the exterior walls of the theater into the stage proscenium were framed; which included arched entryways onto stairs leading up the stage, and large alcoves that will house the main speakers of the theaters sound system. There was additional framing in the basement under the stage, and in the lobby. In the bathreeoms, the remaining plumbing work was completed and passed their pressure tests.Out front, the ceilings of the entryway and canopy were insulated and installed. The false ceiling was installed above the stage. this included the installation of 15 custom designed/built trusses to spanning over the stage, and two massive ledger board attached to the walls that the trusses sat on. Then decking was installed over the top of the trusses to enclose the celing. Additional fire suppression plumbing was then suspended fromt he ceiling. The Board has suspended restoration efforts until more fund can be raised. true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false false false false false false OR X Ashley OToole 5416637187 PO Box 3057 La Grande OR 97850 X Kelly Ducote Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ted Kramer Secretary & Treasure 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ashley OToole Board Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Clark Vice-Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false X 39500 83330 122830 1 1 0 122831 1 0 0 X 9330 9330 2883 2883 11200 11200 1197 1197 430 430 6209 6209 Utilities 720 720 Tax and License 78 78 Dues & Subscriptions 675 675 32722 0 10995 21727 15538 103955 1356896 88025 1295361 1268871 1310899 1372826 150000 150000 150000 150000 X 1160899 1222826 1160899 1222826 1310899 1372826 X 90109 -28182 X false false false X 106418 229984 55701 27344 122830 542277 106418 229984 55701 27344 122830 542277 0 0 0 0 0 0 542277 9 6 1 16 106427 229984 55701 27350 122831 542293 1.00000 0.99990 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 30000 30000 199161 199161 923679 88025 835654 10000 10000 194056 194056 1268871 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Review only by Board Chair before filing Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19 Available for review by request only.
