Home Synopsis Sponsor a Movie Membership/Volunteer Who Are We? Royal Walk & Run Fundraising

 

 

The Sandhills Area Entertainment Corporation is a Nebraska non-profit group made up of community volunteers to operate the Royal Theater.  We consist of a board of up to 10 members, three of which are high school students.  We meet once a month.

We elect new board members and members may vote on any other issues we may have as well as discuss how our current year has gone.  We collect membership dues and any donations at that time as well as any time throughout the year.

We are always looking for volunteers:  board members, projectionists, weekend crews, and cleaning crews. Please contact any of the following board members with any questions.

Volunteers:

All projectionists and weekend volunteers (including substitutes) receive free pop and popcorn and get to see the movie on their weekend.  Cleaning crews and maintenance workers receive coupons for a free pass, pop, and popcorn.

bulletProjectionists - They maintain and run the projector and films for each weekend's movie.  These dedicated volunteers give up 5 nights for their weekend; 1 night to put the movie on the projector, 3 nights for shows, and 1 night to take the movie off the projector. Plus they help out the groups who do not have a projectionist.  We are currently trying to get more than one projectionist on a crew, so the one individual does not have to spend so much time on a weekend.
bulletWeekend Groups - We currently have 6 groups right now that rotate running the theater. Some of the groups are made up of families, others are friends, still others are non-profit groups.
bulletCleaning Crews - Almost all of the weekend crews also do their own cleaning, although we do have a few people who only volunteer for cleaning.
bulletMaintenance - Volunteers who are willing to help us when things go wrong or need to be repaired.
bulletSubstitutes - We have a list of people who are willing to fill in wherever they are needed, some of whom also volunteer for other categories.
