A Smashing Success!

Curtain Call on December 6, 2013

I can’t adequately express my pride for all the participants in A Sherlock Holmes Christmas, which had a sold out dinner theater opening on Friday, December 6, and played to enthusiastic audiences at matinee and evening performances on Saturday, December 7.

We were so pleased and proud to collect over $1,500 for our cast project to benefit St. Paul’s new neighbor, the Autism Academy of South Carolina.

A New Alliance

On November 20, I joined with Pastor Metze, Joe Roof, Randy Nolff, and Bill Itter of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and representatives of Lutheran Homes (previous tenant) to witness the signing of a lease agreement that will house the Autism Academy of South Carolina in the Eleanor S. Rice Building owned by the church.

Welcome to Lorri Shealy Unumb (advocate of Ryan’s Law and VP of State Governmental Affairs for Autism Speaks), her husband Dan (attorney and co-founder with Lorri of the Autism Academy), their son Ryan, Shanna Poston (the Autism Academy’s Business Manager), and the Academy’s students and families!
