Memberships are so important to the success and sustainability of The Loft Cinema. The revenue from memberships helps us do everything we do, and you know from our monthly film guides that we do a lot! Unlike revenue from the box office, which is split between The Loft Cinema and the distributor, and revenue from concessions, which is offset by the cost of buying the eclectic food and drinks we offer, we keep 100% of membership dollars! And we use those dollars to create unique events and festivals, and to literally keep the lights on. So a big thanks to all our members! And if you’re not yet a member, or have let your membership lapse, this is a great time to join! Get double the free passes during the month of September and get even more for your investment in The Loft Cinema. We are excited to announce that we are now selling unique bags, made from recycled banners for our films and events. We are partnering with the Refugee Women’s Empowerment Program of Lutheran Social Services who offer various classes for refugee women including sewing, and these amazing women from Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Burma, Cuba and beyond are using their new sewing skills to create unique bags using our recycled banners. Each bag has a tag with the name of the woman who created it and where she is from! Check them out next time you’re at The Loft Cinema. Enjoy September at The Loft Cinema! And save the date for the 10th annual Loft Film Fest November 7-14! Festival badges are on sale NOW! Peggy Johnson, Executive Director The Loft Cinema is a local nonprofit dedicated to creating community by celebrating the art and diversity of film. 6 SPECIAL ENGAGEMENTS EASY RIDER MILES DAVIS: 50TH ANNIVERSARY!
