City, State: Seminole, FL Website: www.sunburstconvention.com Comments: "Hey Richard. It is so wonderful that you are getting involved...timely too. Florida is in a huge mess. In eduaction, we are already 50th in the nation in dollars spent per child vs personal income. In our county alone, we have been hearing that an upcoming cut of $102,000,000 would require the cut of the arts, including music and most sports as well as guidance and social workers and media specialists (that's new school for librarian) from our schools. We have been writing letters, sending emails, making calls, signing petitions and holding rallies. Then in a huge blow, yesterday, we found out that the cut is actually going to be more like $240,000,000. That is JUST IN OUR COUNTY. We had a meeting last night and our principal was starting to sound fairly hopeless, which is not at all like her. If you have any ideas, I am sure we would welcome them. I am going to refer my PTA board to your site too. Thank you so much for caring not only for the future of the arts but also the future of our children."

It's needed MORE than EVER in these times! Chuck just had a children's musical mounted in New Hampshire and one of the theme is how VITAL art is to kids. Thanks so much for putting this notion out there. ART is MORE than TV and the NET. love Stephen Foster, DIVA WORKS

City, State: Huntington, CT Website: www.attheritz.org Comments: Richard, It was terrific having you and Samantha and Damian as my guests on the March 14th broadcast of "AT THE RITZ!" You are so articulate and sensitive to Carol's talent and ongoing work with her foundation as well as so generous in sharing your wealth of knowledge regarding Jerry Herman's masterpiece, "HELLO DOLLY!" This was indeed one of our most outstanding programs due in largest measure to you. On behalf of Lynn DiMenna and myself, thank you so much! |
