Thank You for $75,000!
https://gofund.me/1d4fea7f1
In less than two months, our community has come together and helped us reach 75% of our goal!
Our deepest thanks and gratitude go out to every single person who has donated. Some of you have even donated multiple times. The love, encouragement, and support we've received throughout this campaign have been truly overwhelming.
Because of your generosity, we've been able to move forward with the extensive planning and preparations needed for our kitchen remodel. We are currently waiting for drawings from a local engineering firm to submit for permits. None of this would be possible without you!
We still have 25% left to go, but we're hopeful that we'll reach 100% by July!
With that in mind, we're excited to officially announce our Donor Appreciation Party at The Emerald of Siam!
Sunday, July 12th
Doors: 5:00 PM
Show: 6:00 PM
The evening will feature touring act The Willie Waldman Project, Dara Quinn & Friends, and an appetizer buffet.
The Willie Waldman Project is known for bringing together accomplished musicians from the worlds of jazz, funk, rock, and improvisational music. It's going to be an incredible night, and we're excited to celebrate with the community that has helped make all of this possible.
We cannot emphasize enough how special this show will be.
The Willie Waldman Project coming to our humble little venue is a reminder of why we do what we do here at The Emerald. For over two decades, we've worked to create a space where music, community, and connection come together, and it feels incredibly meaningful to celebrate this milestone with artists of this caliber.

Willie Waldman has performed and recorded with artists including Snoop Dogg, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Flea, Joe Satriani, Nels Cline, Steve Kimock, Grace Potter, Mike Watt, Stephen Perkins, and many others. This performance will also feature Norwood Fisher, founding bassist of Fishbone, and Memphis drummer Terryl Saffold, whose career includes performances with Al Green, Mick Jagger, Isaac Hayes, Clarence Carter, Bob Weir, and numerous other legendary artists.
The timing of this show feels a little serendipitous. As we work toward the final stretch of our campaign, we're honored to welcome these musicians to The Emerald and hope to celebrate reaching our $100,000 goal together with all of you.
We will have a donation box at the event, and we're hopeful that by the time we gather together, we'll be celebrating the completion of our campaign.
Only 25% left to go!
Thank you again for your support. We hope to see you there!
