Description: Volunteers are truly
the heart and soul of our organiza-tion. Whether you are stroking a cat, walking a dog, cleaning a ken-nel or even greeting a visitor, each hour a volunteer gives has an im-measurable value. One of our top priorities is to al-ways create the best environment possible for our animals during their stay with us. For the safety of our wonderful helpers, staff, visi-tors and animals, we require that each volunteer be appropriately introduced to our facility and trained before assisting with the shelter needs. By volunteering to help at shelter events, you’re supplying a better chance for a dog to get adopted. They normally set in their kennel and wait to be seen. But by taking a dog out of the shelter and spend-ing a few hours at an adoption event, you’re giving the dog an opportunity to be seen by more people. And they’re being social-ized, which will reduce their stress level.

Description: The Paramount
Theatre is one of a few existing atmospheric theatres designed by famed national architect John Eberson. Eberson was the original imaginative creator of the “atmospheric.” His Spanish court-yard design of the Paramount in-cluded eclectic ornamentation, unique statuaries, a beautiful trel-lis adorned with floral and ivy, and a magical night sky complete with hundreds of twinkling stars. Not only did the opulent décor of the Paramount distinguish itself from the neighboring theatres, but the 36 foot tall and 69 inches wide Paramount blade marquee became a familiar sight in downtown Anderson. Out of 155 Eberson "atmospheric" theatres that were built only 12 of them exist, two of them are located in Indiana, The Embassy Theatre located in Fort Wayne, Indiana and The Para-mount Theatre located in Ander-son, Indiana.

Many of our partners in accom-plishing community improvements get started through involvement with the women's giving circle, "Open Hearts, Open Purses." Members plan and execute an an-nual Award Night, where three grant finalists vie for a $10,000 grant. Members also solicit and review grant applications and iden-tify prospective members. Other partners get involved with the Foundation through scholar-ship application review. This com-mitment is short-term and con-ducted online. We would love to meet with any person interested in the benefit of their community; we help connect passionate people with the com-munity causes that they cherish- and have been doing so for nearly 25 years.
