DCCA Recognizes
contributions of Harry D. Stephens Memorial Trust
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes the Harry D. Stephens
Memorial Trust Fund for their contributions to DCCA’s 2014-2015 Roots
& Wings season, helping DCCA encourage cultural enrichment in the
community. According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan,
“DCCA counts itself very fortunate to be in a community that values the
arts, and is sincerely thankful for the generosity of the Harry D.
Stephens Memorial Trust Fund and its commitment to enhancing the
quality of life in our community through the arts.”
The generous ongoing support from the Stephens Memorial has contributed
greatly to the arts organization’s ability to continue bringing high
quality performing artists to the community. The Stephens
Memorial helps underwrite all DCCA programs – Artist Series which
brings world class artists to St. Clair Memorial Hall; Family Theatre
Series which presents, at a very reasonable ticket price, theatrical
productions based on classic children’s literature; Coffee House Series
which takes patrons to smaller venues throughout the county for a more
intimate arts experience; and Arts In Education which takes artists to
the audience, presenting performances to all grade levels in each local
school district.
Over the past 25 years the Harry D. Stephens Memorial Trust Fund has
distributed over $1.5 million to the benefit of Greenville area
residents. Mr. Stephens’ generous contribution to the
residents of the Greenville area is in harmony with his lifetime of
service and dedication and will enhance the community well into the
future.
Distributions from the Harry D. Stephens Memorial Trust Fund are made
in June and December each year and only the interest income from the
fund can be distributed for charitable, educational, scientific,
literary and/or religious purposes. Current Trust Fund Committee
members include Dianna Wagner (President), Jennifer Bish, Dr. Michael
Fourman, Alan Greiner, and Becky Jenkinson.
DCCA’s desire is to offer quality programming, encouraging cultural
enrichment in our community, and to do our part to make Darke County,
Ohio a great place to live. For more information contact the DCCA
office at (937)547-0908 or www.CenterForArts.net.
