Members of the association are still writing for more grants and holding fundraisers in order to get the Rialto open once again. The goal of the Rialto is to raise approximately $60,000-$100,000 to open the doors of the grand old theater for the first time in 22 years. The Board announced its hope to open the historic Art Deco theater (one of a kind) in 2009. |
