Eyedrum will be applying for Fulton County support July 1 for the first time in a few years. If you can come out, numbers matter, at least that's what the commissioners themselves say. And, of course, a 30-second speech that's got a punch is always welcome. xo p ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jessyca Holland <jessyca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, Jun 16, 2014 at 2:09 PM Subject: Reminder: Spread the Word about June 18 Fulton County Arts Budget Cuts! To: "c4atlantaignite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <c4atlantaignite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Who wants to join me this Wednesday? We will need to get there around 9 AM to get a speaker card. Even if you don't want to speak, your presence is requested. It really means so much more coming from YOU than ME. FCAC funding supports a lot of programs in our community. Please don't let it get slashed! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Collins Goss <development@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 9:20 AM Subject: Reminder: Spread the Word about June 18 Fulton County Arts Budget Cuts! To: development@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Good morning! It is time for another Fulton County Arts & Culture budget vote. *The vote was originally scheduled for May 21 but was pushed back to this coming Wednesday, June 18 at 10AM.* Please encourage your staff, board, artists, patrons, community partners, and local businesses to join you in opposing these cuts. The more people speaking out against cutting the arts and culture budget from $1.5 million to $750,000 for the remainder of 2014 the better. I have *created a simple template letter for snail mail and email* for people to use to contact the commissioners over the next few days. I have left it as a Word doc so it can be easily edited if someone wants to add an anecdote, etc. Horizon has also created an *Arts Advocacy page on our website with more detailed info, action steps, and the commissioners’ contact info* (http://www.horizontheatre.com/support/artsadvocacy/). Thanks for all the work everyone has done on this! Progress is happening slowly but surely. I hope to see you all at the meeting on Wednesday, June 18 at 10AM.
