DCCA
Recognizes Harry D. Stephens Memorial Trust Fund
Fund continues Support of the Arts in Darke County
Darke County Center for the Arts recognized the Harry D. Stephens
Memorial Trust Fund for its contributions to DCCA’s 2016-2017
Connections 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 will once again be a spotlight sponsor for the spring
presentation of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra and 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.The
present trust fund members include Dianna Wagner, Al Greiner, Jennifer
Bish, Dr. Michael Fourman, and Rebecca Jenkinson.
Distributions of the interest income from the trust are made
semi-annually each year, in June and December. Application forms
to receive funds from the trust can be obtained from the Darke County
Chamber of Commerce office at 209 East Fourth Street in
Greenville. The application deadline for the June distribution is
April 1st and October 1st for the December distribution. The
completed applications are to be returned to the law firm of Gary L.
Flinn Co., L. P. A. at 429 Memorial Drive in Greenville, Ohio.
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
