Funding Next Step

I came home from the first half of the Contact Improv and Body Mind Centering workshop to find a nice letter from the City of Davis with congratulations on my strong application. They had questions about the educational part of this project in the Davis public schools. So, for the last week I have been playing email tag with Gina Smith who is one of the Drama teachers and have sent quite a few more emails to other art and music teachers on the HS and Junior High level with no response. Amy Greer offered to lead the lesson for elementary and I will gladly take the high schoolers. The city needs some information on how the lessons will be focused and who will be leading them. They need this by January 5. With the holidays upon us and vacation time prevalent, I have quite a task ahead of me.

Oh the grantors also want to have a confirmed date. This is the communication I've had with Scott Bowen and Joy Cohan. I think we will still push on with the 16th of May. Yahooo!

Hope: Sat. May 16, 2009 probably will be the date of the Rotary Turkey BBQ in Central Park (they use the Sycamore Grove & stage all day after Farmer's Market), it's also the day of the Double Century bike tour (a couple thousand bicyclists up at Community park), and probably an outdoor movie in Central park that evening at about 9:00 p.m.

Depending on WHERE you do the cabaret downtown, these events should not conflict. It's also 2 days after Celebrate Davis, a huge event in Community Park.
