ARTS BOOSTERS<br />
Looking for Volunteers<br />
The <strong>Berwick</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Arts<br />
Boosters is looking to increase volunteer<br />
involvement during the <strong>2009</strong>- 2010<br />
school year. This group was established<br />
a few years ago to sponsor fine arts<br />
events at <strong>Berwick</strong> along with creating<br />
events with the goal of generating<br />
funding to help support artists in<br />
residence and/or capital equipment<br />
items for the visual and performing<br />
arts. The two major events approved<br />
by the Development Committee are<br />
the Arts Boosters Variety Show in<br />
October and the Silent Art Auction in<br />
May. This year, these two events and<br />
proceeds from the Arts Boosters Snack<br />
Shack grossed over $2000.<br />
Arts Boosters Variety Show<br />
This annual event will take<br />
place Friday, October 16, at 7:00 p.m.<br />
Please mark your calendars and plan to<br />
join us on this one-of-a-kind evening.<br />
We would love to perform to a full<br />
house with standing room only. Watch<br />
for more information in the August and<br />
September <strong>1791</strong> <strong>Letter</strong>s and have a<br />
great summer.<br />
DANCE<br />
Shaping the Future<br />
The dancers’ spring<br />
performances of Shaping the Future and<br />
AMPED made for an exciting artistic<br />
weekend on the Hilltop in May. There<br />
are many amazing images posted on the<br />
<strong>Berwick</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> online media gallery<br />
where you can view and download<br />
them to your own image library. If you<br />
are interested in purchasing a DVD<br />
of either performance you can do so<br />
through Video Creations’ online store<br />
at www.videocreations.tv. Previously ordered DVDs are complete and are in the<br />
process of being packaged and mailed. Please feel free to contact Sasha Randall<br />
at srandall@berwickacademy.org with any questions pertaining to the dance<br />
program.<br />
