Rotarians get the "reel" story about happenings at the cinema
On Tuesday, ER Rotarians met at the Elk Rapids Cinema to receive an update from Aaron Timlin, Board of Directors and President of the Chalfonte Foundation, on ideas for future programming and events at our cinema.
Chalfont Foundation is based primarily in Detroit, but it recently purchased our village cinema. They already have two other properties in the area - a camp on Torch Lake and the Chalfonte House.
Aaron summarized recent improvements to the theater and hoped to replicate programs here that already run in Detroit.
