The Dalles Art Center board says they have received over $10,500 in one-time donations and $1,640 in monthly recurring donations since announcing earlier in the week they needed a minimum of $3,500 in committed funding a month to avoid closing by mid-April.  A statement from the Center today also said they had several other large donations pledged but have not come in yet.  Center board member Philip Mascher says the current trend is positive.  The Dalles Athletic Club is also making a $2,000 matching donation.  To contribute to the Art Center, go to thedallesartcenter.org.
