Mitten also noted that the district's chief financial officer, Kay Lesley, has succeeded him as bookkeeper for Joe's Place.

The Tivoli showing will happen Oct. 6, Mitten said. Seating will be limited to 350 people. Ayres has offered to develop a Joe's Place logo, and shirts bearing the new design are expected to be on sale at the showing.
