Toledo Symphony Orchestra and Arts Programs for Children
Greenville Federal has donated funds to Darke County Center for the
Arts sponsoring the upcoming Stars And Stripes Forever performance by
Toledo Symphony Orchestra, the final show in DCCA’s 2011-2012 Artists
Series line-up. Greenville Federal also supports DCCA’s Family
Theatre Series and Arts in Education programs which benefit Darke
County youth and their families. According to Strait, “Greenville
Federal is justly proud to have recently received a coveted 5-Star
Rating (the highest rating any bank can achieve) from Bauer Financial
Inc., the nation’s leading independent bank rating firm. “DCCA is
thrilled that one of the many ways in which Greenville Federal shows
its commitment to excellence and to our community is by helping to make
the arts accessible at a local level.”
Toledo Symphony Orchestra will fill the stage at St. Clair Memorial
Hall with its 60-member orchestra playing a rousing, patriotic-themed
program appropriate for the celebration of the Hall’s 100-year
birthday. Tickets for the May 5, 8:00 PM concert are $30 for
adult, $15 for students, and may be purchased at the door or ordered in
