Projector Extras Project
Now that we've achieved our primary goal of funding the digital projector system, we still have a few extras we need to be able to improve the system and maximize the project. The main thing we need is a projector capable of showing announcements and sponsorships (using this will save the bulb on our new digital projector system). We are hoping to raise an additional $10,000 to help with these extras and we are already almost half way there with over $4,600 raised!

Help us to keep serving the Cedar Springs community with low-cost, family-friendly entertainment!
