I have been impressed with the support for the arts in our community. This year’s Cabarrus Arts Council fund raising breakfast set records for both attendance and amount of funds raised.

The Cabarrus Arts Council uses these funds for programming in our schools, to provide grants to other arts organizations and to help fund other activities of the arts council. Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s breakfast and for your financial contributions.
I am excited to report that Sara Heiser has been nominted by the board to serve as president of the Cabarrus Arts Council for next year and Dakeita Vanderburg-Horton will serve as vice president. Sara and Dakeita have both served on the board for several years and will be a wonderful team to lead the Cabarrus Arts Council next year. They both have a love of the arts and share a vision of a strong and active arts council.

I would also like to thank Cabarrus Arts Council staff—Noelle Scott, Pat Verner and Carrie Myers. They put in many hours to guide the organization and make sure our programs are well organized.
Finally I would like to thank all of those who support the arts in
