Your financial assistance this year has enabled us to plan a "Cabarrus Day for the Arts" at Carolina Mall on March 24. There, we will showcase the many performing and visual arts organizations that are affiliate members of our Council. We hope to place the arts in the public's awareness through such performances. In addition, each F~iday of April there will be a Concert-on-the-Lawn, alternating lunchtime performances between the Historic Cabarrus Courthouse and the bandshell in Kannapolis. These concerts are a free offering of the arts to the public. With the cooperation of Downtown Redevelopment, we hope to draw additional folks downtown at the lunch hour and entertain them. The Arts Council will again direct the Silver Arts Live! performance of our 55 and older citizens in conjunction with the Senior Games. Planning for this event will require many hours on the part of our director--Time well-spent for the benefit of our many senior citizens who have so much to offer. Cabarrus County is.quickly becoming a place to draw retirees, some of whom are already involved with Council activities. A juried exhibit will also be held at Carolina Mall of Silver Arts participants on a visual level. Whether our involvements are ooncerts or in-school programming, the support we receive from our government is vital to future planning and growth in the arts. We would appreciate a plaoe on the agenda of your next meeting to place a formal request to meet our future needs. The deadline for application of Local Government Challenge Grant funding with the N.C. Arts Council is once again April i. We hope to show your continued support in applying for state funds. Your time and consideration of our request is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Christine s. Cole Interim Executive Director
