Hello Rocky Neck friends & neighbors!
A quick report: The Rocky Neck Art Colony has received grant awards from two foundations in support of The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck: The Essex County Community Foundation has awarded $2000. toward building our financial capacity, and the Bruce J. Anderson Foundation, through the Boston Foundation, has awarded $10,000 toward The Center’s initial operating costs. We are extremely grateful to these grantors, as their support will help us to build a solid foundation for this project and leverage financial support from other sectors in the months ahead!
On another front, an energized "Center Management Team" (Pat Conant, Vicki Diez-Canseco, Suzanne Audette, Tom Nihan and yours truly) have begun to schedule events at The Center and recruit volunteers to cover Welcome Center hours (Saturday & Sunday, 11-1 and 5-7) beginning this coming weekend. Come by for a visit or to sign on as a volunteer as we get underway…
Hope to see you soon!
Karen
