Rio Theater

Our little theater is in the NY Times today. Co-owner and graphic journalist Wendy MacNaughton shared about the flood's impact in the business section. So many small businesses on the river are feeling the pain right now.
Thx again for offers of support. Two ways to help: - Fund the Recovery: http://gofundme.com/rebuildtherio - Volunteer: https://goo.gl/forms/YqQyJeUYqhskLDch2

Our hearts are heavy with the news that longtime Rio Theater owner Suzi Schaffert passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She and Don purchased the Rio in 1992 and was the heart and soul of the Rio. And we continued our relationship with Suzi and Don after we purchased the Rio a few years ago.
We will forever remember her spirit, smarts and commitment to the Rio and to her community and family.
There is a Funeral Mass at 10:00 am at St. Elizabeth's Church in Guer...neville tomorrow August 25, 2018 with a wake immediately following at the Monte Rio Amphitheater.
Rest in peace Suzi.

Funky little movie theater in Monte Rio. Had a great time going there when we lived in Northern California.
