MAY 8, 2010 -- Board Fundraiser and Tribute to Jim Schlader

For the second year, Woodminster's Board of Directors held a fundraiser at the home of Margo and Alon Yu. This year, the event was also designed to be a tribute to Jim Schlader, the 96-year-old co-founder and producer of the first 43 seasons of Woodminster Summer Musicals. Sadly, Jim did not live to see the event, but the performers took their rehearsal to his bedside, so he was able to enjoy his favorite songs again before he died just a few hours later. See more about Jim Schlader.

Woodminster is deeply grateful for the generosity of our community, and for the people who worked so hard to create this memorable evening. Thanks to Margo and Alon Yu for hosting, and to Alice McNeil Events for coordinating the dinner.
