Julius Caesar by the American Shakespeare Center
Saturday, September 12 @ 7:00 pm
Join the American Shakespeare Center and the Waterford Foundation for the performance of William Shakespeare's tragedy, Julius Caesar at the Waterford Old School. In this profoundly moving, thrilling, and deeply human play, Shakespeare shows us a world on fire; a world spinning out of control; a world where some of history's most famous men commit horrific crimes in the name of patriotism and honor. Julius Caesar
is a dazzling masterpiece of betrayal, violence, and perhaps most surprisingly - love.

Old School debt now under $200,000! Ever mindful of its fiduciary responsibility, the Foundation's Board has deemed it a priority to reduce the principal on the Old School debt. To that end, the Board has budgeted a certain amount monthly to pay down the principal on the debt. In addition, the Board voted to apply the recently-received state tax credits toward the Old School debt, which is now under $200,000. These tax credits were received after rigidly adhering to strict national rehabilitation standards in the restoration of the Old School, as well as filing tons of paperwork, and meeting numerous deadlines. The credits were then sold to Foundation supporters who generously paid 90 cents on the dollar, when the usual amount realized on such transactions is typically 70 to 80 percent.
Considering the fact that the debt stood at $450,000 upon completion of the rebuilding in 2012, bringing the Old School debt down below $200K in such a short time is quite an accomplishment! Thanks to all those who supported the Foundation in this effort.

The Waterford Foundation Corner Store carries heritage mulefoot pig lard produced by Buchanan Farms in Waterford, Virginia. The owners have been farming in Loudoun County for more than 200 years. Lard is the secret ingredient that makes pies so flaky, cookies so tasty, and fried foods so perfect! It is offered in 1 quart containers. Each container will keep for about 12 months in the freezer, 2-3 months in the fridge and several weeks at room temperature. The Buchanan's pigs are all natural; meaning they don't use antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products. Their pigs are treated humanely and respectfully.
