CSTS PITTSBURGH

Howdy, all:

Just wanted to send you a quick wave to say thank you for a really shiny "Serenity Under the Stars" 15th annual Can't Stop the Serenity Pittsburgh charity screening. Your love kept her in the air even in the face of a global pandemic, and I for one can't help but feel humbled and very grateful because of your overwhelming support of the event. We had Browncoats in attendance from as far away as Philadelphia, State College, Cleveland and even Orlando!

Congratulations once again to the winners of our raffles:

Basket #1: Leslie Pelakh

Basket #2: Christine Anderson

Basket #3: Leslie Maynard

We don't have an exact donation figure yet, because we're waiting to see if we're going to have to ship any prizes to winners who were not present at the event, but you can look for an announcement soon on this website, Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks again to our sponsors, Geek Frontiers and Jump Cut Theater, as well as the donors of the projection and sound equipment for this year's screening, Academy Pittsburgh and Looking For Group (LFG).

And thanks once again to all of you. If anyone is not on our email list and would like to be added, just send me a wave and let me know. We hope to see you all next year for the 16th annual CSTS Pittsburgh!

Stay safe and keep flyin',

Cap'n Chris
