We Need Your Help!

Dear Friends and Patrons,

How would you like to make a real difference in the lives of young people in Gulf County? We’re working on a project that will do just that—and we need your help.

The Direct Effect Project along with the Pottersville Players community theater is in the process of establishing an art and cultural center in downtown Wewahitchka. The Tupelo Theater and Cultural Center will bring plays, concerts, workshops, films, classes, and other artistic and cultural activities to the art-starved people of this area.

Once open, the center will provide positive, enriching, and educational programming for all ages, especially the young people of our community who have very little to do—whose boredom often leads to unwise choices and even trouble.

But we can’t open it without your help.

Through the generosity of Mike and Judi Lister, the lease of the building is being offered as a contribution to this worthy endeavor. However, it’s going to cost $5,000.00 for us to complete the build out and bring the space up to code. We’re asking you to consider making a real difference in our community by joining our Founder’s Wall with a tax-deductible donation of $100.00, $250.00, $500.00, $1,000.00, or more (Any amount will be greatly appreciated). In addition to having your name placed permanently on our Founder’s Wall, you will be recognized at our Grand Opening reception celebration and featured in area media.

The Direct Effect Project is an outreach of Michael Lister Ministries, a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization. Our tax ID is 76-0726831. Our address is P.O. Box 1130, Wewahitchka, FL, 32465. Please be as generous as possible, as this is a wonderful opportunity to have an ongoing positive impact on our community.

Thanks for all you do already, as well as your consideration in helping us do even more together.

Sincerely,
Michael Lister
