Friends,
As many of you know, I recently became the president of the board of directors at CORE. When I was asked to take the position, I accepted in a heartbeat. How could I turn down an opportunity to be a part of such an extraordinary contemporary dance company? The dances created by Sue Schroeder and CORE's many international guest choreographers have inspired me for years and have been a big part of putting the metro Atlanta scene (and downtown Decatur) on the international map. And CORE's extensive work in the community uses dance and CORE's creative process to help everyone from artists of all disciplines (through the Fieldwork program) to at-risk children and seniors (Dynamic X-Change). CORE does so much that, if I tried to cover it all, we'd never get to the reason for this note.
Will you help me support CORE's work as part of our Annual Spring Appeal?
My goal is to raise $1000 for CORE and I hope you can help. Please consider making a gift of $50. If that amount does not work for you, know that anything you can give will help. If you can give more than $50 – AWESOME. Everyone who contributes $75 or more will be entered into a drawing for two round trip Business class tickets on AirTran.
In addition to supporting CORE, you will receive some great benefits as a thank you for your support.
