Thanks To All Who Helped Make Improbable Players Show A Success

A note of thanks from Stoneham Community Addition Coordinator Elle Simoni:

The “Improbable Players Show” was a great success! About 40 individuals showed up to see the “Improbable Players” play on March 19th at the Greater Boston Stage Company. On behalf of the Town of Stoneham, I want to extend a heart-felt thank you to the Greater Boston Stage
Company for their commitment and making this event so successful. It is a vision for the Town to inform families of the dangers of substance use in a pleasant, comfortable environment. A community play is a great environment to do so.

A huge shout out and thank you to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan for attending the
play and her impactful speech on the current opiate crisis. I would also like to thank the Lead
Sponsor Boston Mutual Life Insurance Company for their contribution with their “Making a
Difference Grant”. In addition, I would like to thank our other sponsors: Salem Five Bank,
Meld Center Inc., Wegmans and also the Stoneham’s Coalition.

There were also some great in kind donations and generous contributions of free raffle door
prizes that were greatly appreciated. The free door prizes were as follows: Boston Swan Boat passes, JP Licks Ice Cream gift card, Tree Tops Adventures Ropes Course passes, Market Basket gift cards, Kings Bowling gift card, Discovery Museum passes, Institute of
Contemporary Art passes, Doterra Essential Oils gift basket, Wachusett Mountain ski lift
tickets, Lucky Strike Gaming pass, Badger Company gift basket, Mystic Aquarium passes,
Boston University Lacrosse tickets, and Boston College Football tickets. It is important to
have such available prizes for individuals who attended. These free door prizes are all healthy
sober activities as well as positive coping skills for families and those in recovery.

Thank you to the Stoneham Independent, Stoneham Patch, Stoneham’s Coalition, Stoneham
Police, Stoneham Public Schools, Stoneham T.V, Stoneham Chamber of Commerce and
Cleveland Fence for their help advertising the event. Additionally, thank you to Kayla Vodka
Coalition Coordinator and Megan Samborski Youth Coordinator that helped out at the free
raffle ticket booth. Lastly thank you to Stoneham Police Detective Patrick Carroll for helping
out with the photography.

As we continue to grow please know that partnerships are vital to the success. You are truly
appreciated. Thanks again!

Best,
Elle Simoni, MA, LADACI
