Report of the Cultural Council <br /> To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Mashpee <br /> The Mashpee Cultural Council's mission is to promote excellence, education and diversity in the <br /> arts, humanities and interpretive sciences in order to improve the quality of life for all of the <br /> community. The Mashpee Cultural Council operates under the aegis of the town but distributes <br /> funds appropriated by the state legislature that have been allotted to us by a local aid formula. In <br /> other words, the state distributes funds to all the towns in the Commonwealth, so the local <br /> councils can award the funds to individuals, schools and nonprofit organizations in their own <br /> communities. <br /> The Council met in December of 2009 to distribute the 2010 funds. 24 candidates submitted <br /> grant application forms to the Commission for processing and the following grants were <br /> approved for 2010: <br /> Davis Bates and Roger Tincknell Earth Rhythms $450 <br /> Quashnet Valley School Literature Comes to Life $300 <br /> Richard Clark Life Language &the Pursuit of Happiness—Ernest Hemingway $325 <br /> Cape Cod Opera Opera& You $400 <br /> Mashpee Recreation Oktoberfest—Yo Yo People $550 <br /> Mashpee Library Jungle Encounters $225 <br /> KC Coombs Debbie &Friends— Stories Songs & Singalongs $350 <br /> KC Coombs If You Give A Pig A Blanket $800 <br /> Mashpee High School Band Educational Trip $500 <br /> Three Fish and A Ram Teen Art: Full Potential $500 <br /> Mashpee Community Concert Missoula Children's Theater $500 <br /> Committee, Inc. <br /> Total Awarded $4,900.00 <br /> I <br /> We were fortunate once again this year to be awarded $4,300 in funding. Our goal is to educate <br /> and reach new performers in order to provide the best possible variety of activities for our town. <br /> We invite the public to attend our meetings, and to assist the Council in promoting the arts, <br /> humanities, and interpretive sciences that our children and community may become sensitive, <br /> caring and well-rounded citizens. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Kathleen Moore, Chairman <br /> Janet Burke <br /> Eda Stepper <br /> Roberta Schneiderman <br /> Carol Skogstrom <br /> 116 <br />
