The Things They Carried <br />*Reading Choice: <br />*Explain your selection. (3-4 sentences) <br />"The Things They Carried" was selected for a number of reasons. We felt that it would have a better <br />than average appeal to a male audience plus it is included on several high school reading lists. We also <br />felt that the subject matter (a foreign war) was timely due to the current war. We also like the <br />abundance of materials available from The Big Read. <br />*Pr~programmin~nd end dates for Big Read activities: <br />*Description of targeted community: (Please list the city(ies), county(s), region(s), or state(s) in which you <br />plan to conduct Big Read activities) <br />09/01 /201 C 10/31 /201 C <br />through (Please use the short date format: mm/dd/yy.) <br />$12,500 <br />*Grant request amount: (Enter whole dollar amount.) <br />No <br />*Has your organization received a Big Read grant before? <br />No <br />*Does your programming include aSpanish-speaking population? <br />Cabarrus County, North Carolina which includes the cities of Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, Mt <br />Pleasant and Midland. <br />168,740 <br />*Population of targeted community: <br />Community partners <br />Please list your proposed community partners including name, city, zip separated by a semicolon. <br />Rowan Cabarrus Community College, Concord, 28027; Cabarrus Arts Council, Concord, 28025; Old <br />Courthouse Theatre, Concord, 28025; Historic Cabarrus, Concord, 28025; North Carolina Humanities <br />Council, Greensboro, 27401; North Carolina Arts Council, Raleigh, 27601; Cannon Charitable Trusts, <br />Concord, 28025; Cabarrus County Public Schools, Concord, 28025; Kannapolis City Schools, Kannapolis, <br />28083; Concord Friends of the Library, Concord, 28025; Kannapolis Friends of the Library, Kannapolis, <br />28081; Harrisburg Friends of the Library, Harrisburg, 28075; Mt Pleasant Friends of the Library, Mt <br />Pleasant, 28124, Emma's Carolina Cuisine, Concord, 28025; Inn at Mt Pleasant, Mt Pleasant, 28124; <br />Kannapolis Parks and Rec, Kannapolis, NC 28081; Cabarrus County Parks, Concord, 28026; Cabarrus <br />County Veterans Services, Concord, 28025; Cabarrus VFW Post, Concord, 28025; Poston-Perkins VFW <br />Post, Kannapolis, 28081. <br />F-5 <br />Attachment number 1 <br />Page 140 <br />
