The Grandview Theatre Needs Your Help!

From a fellow Whovian:
 My dear fellow Doctor Who fans:

I send this today as a matter of some urgency.  The Grandview Theatre, which we all know for their free showings of Doctor Who (among others), as well as their delightful gatherings and mini-conventions, is in need of our assistance.
On July 1, ALL movie theaters in the country will be forced to to upgrade to HD format, or lose the ability to show *any* movies. This is not a hardship for the major cinema chains, but it could and will be fatal to smaller theatres such as our beloved Grandview. 
The upgrade costs ten thousand dollars.  Yes, ten with three zeroes behind it.  They have raised about half of that.  They have about two weeks to raise the rest of it or they will more than likely be forced to close.
I'm opening the floor to discussions about how to help them.  I'll be in contact and planning mode with the Grandview in the near future.  In the meantime, here is a link to their plea:

In Service,

 If you are able to help in any way, no matter how big or small, I am sure any donation would be greatly appreciated! The Grandview has been wonderfully gracious to us Whovians-let us return the favor and give them a helping hand.
