<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma>Hey. Folks: If there was ever a category
listing for "definitive" Avon movies, MORNING GLORY would have a
prime place on it!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma>I have been so excited about bringing this one to
the Avon audiences, ever since I heard about it last
Summer!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma>Many of you are painfully aware how Hollywood
seems to pander only to a certain <EM>younger</EM>
clientele...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>The Avon Theater is a rare and
anomalistic creature in that we take great steps to find those films that appeal
to OUR customer base!<BR><BR>Just imagine the poor saps out there in the rest of
the country who are stuck in the ruts of movie multiplex
hell!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>I hear all the time from people
who have moved away to other cities and states: "<EM>There is NO 'Avon'
here!!</EM>" </FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT
face=Tahoma></FONT></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>---And they would be 100%
correct in that assertion!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>We have been going 12 years now,
and it has <U>never</U> been easy...</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>- In fact, it has been
almost <EM>unbearable</EM> at times...</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>What I want YOU to think about
right now is this:</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT
face=Tahoma></FONT></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma><EM>Imagine Decatur WITHOUT the
Avon.</EM></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma><EM>Imagine <U>downtown</U>
WITHOUT the Avon.</EM></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><EM><FONT
face=Tahoma></FONT></EM></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>If that is not an attractive
vision, then remember we <U>don't</U> have the luxury of federal grants and
tax-deductible donations.</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma><EM>We have to SELL tickets and
popcorn to keep going</EM>!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT
face=Tahoma></FONT></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Tahoma>Unlike some <EM>other
</EM>theater projects around that are in the <EM>non-profit
organization category</EM>, when we need money: <FONT size=4><U>WE
HAVE TO EARN IT</U>!</FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma></FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Tahoma></FONT>
<DIV><BR><FONT face=Tahoma>We don't hold out our hand for donations and
grants and annuities, we get down to business and try to fill those seats and
move that fabulous popcorn!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>Please keep that in mind the next time you make an
entertainment choice...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Tahoma><U>WE ARE ONLY THERE BECAUSE YOU
ARE</U>!!!</FONT></DIV>
