Letter from Arts Alliance president Tamara Real regarding support for the schools millage:

At its October 19th board meeting, the board of directors of the Arts Alliance voted to support passage of the 2009 Regional Enhancement Millage Proposal.

The board took this action because of its concern that our county’s children have access to an education that adequately prepares them for the challenges of the 21st century. For us, an essential part of such an education is the opportunity to regularly experience and participate in the arts through music, theater, the spoken word, and the visual arts. It is our hope that through this millage such access will continue to be provided.

The Arts Alliance is a county-wide organization working to make our region more vibrant and economically viable through arts and culture. On behalf of the board of directors, I wish you – and our county’s children – success with this millage proposal!

Sincerely yours,

Tamara Real
President
