Education Programs, Community Partnerships Grew For SPAC As It Finishes 2019 In Black

Posted onDecember 12, 2019December 13, 2019

The Saratoga Performing Arts Center’s 2019 season was marked by a record number of SPAC premieres, programming that extended beyond the traditional summer months, and significant growth in its educational and community outreach efforts, officials said an October board or directors meeting.
The summer season culminated with the re-imagined Saratoga Wine and Food Festival, which connected the community and cultural organizations in support of SPAC’s educational programming.
The festival “united cultural organizations, local businesses and our community in a celebration of art, music, nature and locally-sourced foods, serving as the perfect punctuation mark to our summer season,” said Elizabeth Sobol, SPAC president and CEO. “As we look ahead, we will continue to create meaningful experiences through innovative programming, educational outreach and new year-round offerings.”
At the fall board meeting, Sobol reported that the 2019 season, from an artistic standpoint, was one of SPAC’s most successful and innovative seasons. The summer featured a record number of SPAC premieres, which received critical acclaim from both national and regional press and audiences.
She said along with the artistic success, there were cancellations due to artist illnesses, dangerous heat that resulted in a cancellation of New York City Ballet’s matinee performance, and visa denials that prohibited YAMATO: The Drummers of Japan from touring, significantly impacted the bottom line.
“Nevertheless, due to strong fundraising support and ticket sales, SPAC is still projected to finish the fiscal year in the black,” she said.

Lake George native Monika LaPlante has opened a site in Saratoga Springs for people who need a work or meeting area, but don’t want the burden of their own office.
The Worker’s Club has space that can be rented for a day, a year, or anything in between. At 3 Franklin St., the business has a modern, comfortable environment in Suite 4 of the historic building, two blocks off Broadway.
“I am from Lake George, where many families owned businesses,“ she said. “I was surrounded my whole life so it was in my head to start my own.“
With a degree in environmental science and two masters degrees, LaPlante has had a position in New York City as an assistant data manager for an environmental non-profit group. Three years ago she moved back to the area and continued to work from home.
“A nonprofit builds up community, but I found I was not connected to tech people in this area,” she said.
Starting a business where she could establish such a community was the solution for both her business and personal goals.

Business Report: Save The World!

Michael Cruz, president of Lighthouse Advisors LLC in Queensbury.

That is the mantra by which we find ourselves involved with the nonprofit community. Whether you are working at one or on the board for one, it was a heart tug that got you there. Nonprofits get special IRS treatment because they perform a public good. They need a clear purpose focused on why the community is better because of their work.
Yet, they are still businesses. And they have to behave as one. That means having a sense of purpose. It means knowing that the model needs revenue to allow for the expenses of delivering the service. And, most important, they need more revenue than they spend. As simple and obvious as that sounds, passion will often overrule common sense. It’s where Boards come in.
As part of the legal structure they are the governing body. Boards act as stewards of the public trust. They ensure that these organizations are operating legally and ethically. They also provide the direction to make sure the nonprofit is answering community need. And that they are changing to meet new needs as they change. In addition to providing that direction, the Board is charged with providing the resources to help meet the mission.

“Our food is so good, it doesn’t matter if you’re vegan,” said Tania Sharlow, owner of Birch Bark Eatery, a vegan restaurant that, after just a year in business, recently moved to a new and larger location at 21 Ridge St. in Glens Falls.
The new location is five times as big as the previous site on Route 9 in Queensbury, giving Sharlow and her crew more work space and room to seat up to 60 people. She also expanded her workforce from four to 10 people.
The new location was formerly home to Cornerstone Pizza Café.
The site did not require much renovation, mainly painting and some upgrading in the kitchen, she said.
She now offers an expanded menu, including pizza.

The hotel previously known as the Copperfield Inn Resort in North Creek has sold for $1 million.

Muroff represented the seller, Copperfield Resort LLC, and secured the buyer.
