Arts Budget Meeting November 19-- Show Up!

I received this from the Westchester Arts Council-- if you'd like to help ensure arts funding on the county level, the best way to do so is to show up and be heard. Politicians respond to voters.

If you'd like to attend, RSVP to the email below: lmilo@westarts.com or call Lauren Milo at 914-428-4220 x. 235.

====================================

The County Executive presented his proposed FY 2008 today. The Board of Legislators will be holding its first public hearing on the budget this Monday, November 19th @ 7pm in the Larkin Plaza Library, 1 Larkin Plaza, Yonkers.

We hope to have 25 or more people in the audience...sitting as a block, wearing Arts Council hats so the arts have a visible presence. If would be great if you or anyone you know (community members, fellow artists etc.) could come and demonstrate support for the Arts Council. You can arrive around 6:45ish, but would have to be prepared to stay a while, until our speakers are finished.

Please RSVP to Lauren Milo and let her know if you and/or anyone you know can come and support the Arts Council. She can be reached at lmilo@westarts.com or 914-428-4220 x. 235
