Excitement is building in Narberth as the Park & Rec Board gears up for a community movie night on April 26, featuring the beloved classic "The Sandlot." During the recent board meeting, Rebecca shared the thrilling news that the borough council has approved the budget for the event, covering all costs related to the movie licensing and equipment.
Thanks to the efforts of board member Jeff, who has previous experience working with a movie company, the logistics are well underway. Rebecca expressed gratitude to Jean for her leadership in securing the necessary funding, ensuring that the event can proceed without financial hurdles.
In addition to the movie, the board is actively seeking sponsorships to enhance the experience. Dennis, a board member and neighbor, is collaborating with Jeremy Kuhar from the Friends of Narberth Park, who has successfully obtained 501(c)3 status for their organization. They are exploring potential sponsorship opportunities, including a partnership with Jenny's Ice Cream, which has shown enthusiasm for supporting community initiatives.
As preparations continue, Rebecca and Jamie plan to meet to discuss marketing strategies to ensure a strong turnout, aiming for at least 50 families to attend. The board encourages community members to share ideas for outreach to make this event a memorable gathering for all. With the groundwork laid, Narberth is set to enjoy a night of fun and nostalgia under the stars.
