The New Hamburg Public Library
The New Hamburg Public Library is already making a difference in our community in many ways. Now, as a recipient of some of the proceeds from Aida, the library will be making a difference to TCP as well, acquiring print, audio and digital materials that will help people prepare for an audition—finding appropriate material for a monologue, for example—or simply explore the rich world of musical theatre.
The library and The Community Players look forward to an enduring partnership that reinforces the tremendous value that New Hamburg and surrounding communities place on the arts.New Hamburg Branch Library

Sleeping Children Around the World
Sleeping Children Around the World, an organization based in Toronto, makes a difference in the lives of needy children around the globe by sending them “bedkits.” Most of the children, who are of all races and religions, live in underdeveloped or developing countries.A typical bedkit, which requires a $35 tax-deductible donation, contains a mat or mattress, a pillow, a sheet, a blanket, a mosquito net if applicable, a set of clothes, a towel and school supplies. (The contents vary according to local needs.) Every child is photographed with his or her bedkit, showing the donor’s name and country, and sometimes a special message. The photographs are then mailed back to the original donors, as mementos of the child and of their own generosity.
No portion of a bedkit donation is spent on administration: 100% reaches a child. This is made possible through donations not specifically meant for bedkits, and through a legacy account set up by the founders, Murray and Margaret Dryden, when the group began in 1970. Also, the group is staffed entirely by volunteers, and even the house in Toronto that serves as headquarters was donated to the group by the founders. Since its start in 1970, SCAW has raised more than $23 million to provide bedkits for children in 33 countries. It helped its millionth child in 2009.
