Buzzz… invited local theaters to send a big, public thank you to the volunteers who make such a difference. We’ll applaud those volunteers all this week.
Tim Perrino sends a big “thanks!” to White Oak residents Mark Mueller and Tony Hungler. Both men serve on the building committee of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts.
“Mark and Tony have been directly responsible for some of the most impressive and exciting renovations here at the Covedale. Whether it’s helping us envision, plan and actually install needed improvements – or if it’s a matter guiding us through the necessary steps in getting bids, finding qualified contractors – then seeing the whole process through to a successful conclusion these guys are the best…. And they’re just the tip of the volunteer iceberg around here…”
Perrino lists some of their many accomplishments (“whether by shepherding the process with contractors or just rolling up their sleeves and getting it done with our many other amazing folks”)
By Perrino’s count (and he ran out of fingers): “New exit doors to the theater; redesign of seating, steps and stage; installing light grid; re-surfacing of building façade; installation of new electrical distribution; roof renovations; painting the lobby with a small army of volunteers; installing the seats and risers in the theatre; removing the tower beacon -- and reinstalling it very soon….; Office renovations…
“And always with the best and brightest of attitudes and spirit of viva la companie…”
Both Mueller and Hungler became involved with the Covedale because their kids were part of Cincinnati Young Peoples Theatre. The kids are grown (there’s still one Mueller in the program) but the dads have stayed on.
Bravo, guys!!
