Big Day of Giving Stream-a-Thon
Big Day of Giving Stream-a-Thon
As the lights go down, chairs screech and bodies adjust in their seats as the audience waits.
From behind the burgundy curtain, a rumble is felt. The darkness is split by a syncopated rhythm, and the cacophony grows: the beat and beat and beating of tom toms.
The curtain slides open. The thump of bass drums and slap hiss of snares, the audience gasps as the drum line, in a blur, hammers at their skins.
And that is just one act at the May 1 Big Day of Giving Stream-a-thon presented by the Winters Participation Gallery. The two-hour show, 6-8 pm at the Winters Community Center, will include a variety of local acts: fiddlers, a classically trained singer, roving robots, the sis-boom-bah of a brass band, award-winning poetry, and a dog act.
The event will be streamed through the Winters Participation Gallery YouTube page. Whether in person or via the marvel of the World Wide Web, this sensational evening will give the community a chance to meet many Winters nonprofits and support their wonderful work.
The event is free with light appetizers provided by Yolo County Meals on Wheels.

Thank You!
Thank You!
The members of the Board of Winters Participation Gallery thank you for your contribution to our Big Day of Giving fundraising drive. WPG relies on your Big DOG donation to support the annual Historical Mural Project that takes place each summer.
[Expand for more]
With your help, students in grades 6 - 12 will design and paint our sixth mural on the Post Office Building in June and July. They will learn about Winters' history and incorporate that into the design, which, with the direction of professional muralists, they will transfer into a vibrant work of art.
It is through generous contributions like yours that we are able to provide this unique opportunity for the youth of Winters. We appreciate your support in helping us make Winters more beautiful one wall at a time!
Thank you,
