LEE O’CONNOR MEMORIAL FUND: CONTRIBUTIONS MADE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2023
From 1999 until his death due to cancer in 2021, Lee O'Connor was the technical director for the Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company in Cape May, NJ. In 1999, Gayle Stahlhuth became producing artistic director of ELTC, and she, along with ELTC board president Frank Smith, and Lee, made this theater thrive.
WE NOW KNOW HOW THE FUND WILL BE SPENT!
In 2026, when the Board of Trustees heard that the Cape May Presbyterian Church would like professional theatrical LED lights installed in its sanctuary, the Board suggested that CAT could provide these lights through this Fund! Soon we will find out the details and cost for such an enterprise, but at last, when you make your donations, you'll know how it's going to be spent!
