Belleville's A Festival of Stories
Levels of Sponsorship
Many community members have given their time to making this storytelling festival a reality. Their contributions cannot be counted in dollar signs, but rather by their time and dedication. The Festival's Advisory board needs volunteers on the day of the festival. If you would like to volunteer, the following groups are looking for you - AmeriCorp, Retired Teachers of Belleville, and PSOP of SWIC. Or contact one of the board members. We are also blessed with the in-kind support of Lindenwood University, Belleville Campus and the Belleville News Democrat. We also thank The Abbey coffeehouse for the kickoff event.
However, a festival of this magnitude, cannot survive without the generosity of the community that it serves. If you believe, like we do, that storytelling strengthens one's character and that all good things come to those who step forward, please consider a monetary donation to one of the levels below:
