From the Board President- Tim LaLonde
As the new President of the TIPAF Board, I am thrilled to be opening our doors again and finally having the opportunity to meet our patrons at future events!
Born and raised in Clayton, Mary and I moved back as year-round residents on the first day of the COVID shutdown in March 2020. I am excited to help the Opera House be a part of all the recent enhancements in the Clayton community. My goals are to increase the number of events we have annually, with emphasis on adding more events in the Spring and Fall for our year-round residents of all ages.
I want to thank all of our loyal and generous patrons for their continued financial support during our down time. With your support, and from PPP loans and other funding, we were able to maintain our full staff in 2021. We are hopeful to return to normal later this year and are busy planning our 2022 calendar which already con-tains some familiar headline acts.
I would also like to thank our staff for their perseverance during the past 14 months and dealing with the uncertainty of when and how we could resume performances. During this downtime we have made several improvements to keep our audiences, employees and volunteers safe and to be compliant with all COVID regulations.
If you have an idea for a future performance or event, please contact Julie or me at timjlalonde@gmail.com. We are here to serve our community and surrounding area as a premier performance center.
See you soon at our upcoming shows!
