Dear Valued Sponsor,
I hope this email finds you well. On behalf of everyone at R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your support as a sponsor of the 2024 Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre. Your generous contributions have been instrumental to this season's success, and we are incredibly thankful for your continued dedication to promoting arts and culture within our community.
This year was especially memorable as we celebrated the 30th anniversary of our Dinner Theatre. We proudly presented Read All About It!—an original play written and directed by the talented Sara Schreiner. Inspired by newspaper articles from the Salmon Arm Observer dating back to 1908, the show was beautifully brought to life by a remarkable cast and enriched with music from our local station's playlist.
Our season ran from July 14 to August 26, with performances every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday evening. We welcomed 1,550 guests throughout the season, a testament to the continued popularity of this event as a highlight of summer entertainment in Salmon Arm.
The feedback from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive. Many expressed their delight with the quality of the performances and the dining experience. Some highlights from our Visitor Experience Survey include:
• "Amazing" performances with memorable songs like The Mountain Road Song.
• Patrons loved the home-cooked meals, especially the rhubarb crisp and ice cream, which has become a fan favourite.
• Regular attendees mentioned that the event "never disappoints," and they look forward to coming back each year.
These kinds of responses highlight the importance of your Sponsorship. Your support helps us create a memorable evening for our audiences and allows us to continue preserving and sharing the rich history of Salmon Arm.
For the 2025 season, we are pleased to offer two tiers of Sponsorship:
• Nightly Sponsorship ($300) : As a Nightly Sponsor, your name will appear on the Sponsor signage in the Village, on our website, and in the program. You will also receive two tickets to your sponsor night (or any other night of your choice), which you can use for yourself or as a giveaway to friends, customers, or staff. We encourage you to call early in the season to confirm your reservations and select your meal.
• Major Sponsorship ($600) : As a Major Sponsor, your logo will be prominently featured on the Sponsor signage in the Village, on our website, and in the program. Additionally, you will receive eight tickets to any night you choose, which you can use personally or share with friends, customers, or staff. These tickets offer an excellent opportunity to support the arts while entertaining guests. Early reservations are highly recommended.
We know you have many choices when it comes to supporting organizations, and it means so much to us that you have chosen to support R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum. We are excited about the future and are already looking ahead to next season. We would be honoured to have you join us again as a sponsor for the 2025 Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre.
Click on the following Sponsor Application for the Nightly and Major Sponsorship tiers for the 2025 season for your consideration.
Thank you again for your invaluable support. We look forward to continuing this journey together and hope to welcome you as part of our 2025 Dinner Theatre season.
Warm regards,
Susan Mackie
General Manager
