Sorority Group Honoured

The group that has provided usher services at the Townsend Theatre for the past ten years has been honoured by the town of Fort Frances.

Councillor Sharon Tibbs says a plaque recognizing the volunteer efforts of the local chapter of Beta Sigma Phi will be installed outside the theatre doors.

"When the Townsend Theatre opened, we had Beta Sigma Phi make a commitment to great and usher audiences," says Tibbs. "They have done this for ten years under that title and probably taught us all some theatre manners."

The sorority group decided it no longer wanted to continue to job and is turning it over to a new group of local volunteers.
