Dear Friends of the Rose,

    Thank you very much for your generosity, your support and your kindness. Our fundraising campaign to convert the Rose to digital projection has been very successful, and we can now move on to planning for the actual transition this summer.

    We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed time, money and encouragement to this campaign, and to all of our patrons for their loyal support. We're planning a grand "reopening" celebration, because without you, we couldn't have done this.

    From their invention more than a century ago, movies have always been about a shared communal experience. But that shared communal experience has taken on even greater meaning in the course of our fundraising. The outpouring of concern for the future of the Rose has been a truly overwhelming and humbling experience. On behalf of all of us at the Rose, my sincere appreciation for the gift of your generosity.

Rocky
