Dear ARS Staff and Choir Parents:
I am sending you a message from Mollie
Tower, who is leading the charge to help get a Performing Arts Center
built for AISD:
"Below, you will find the amazing
details of the PAC that will be
built if Bond Proposal #3 is approved by the voters on May 10th. It
is time to get all your friends and co-workers excited about what
this facility will do for our Austin students. Early voting begins
April 28th - just 4 short weeks away. I've also attached a list
of
examples of the many types of AISD FIne Arts events, K-12, that could
be presented in this wonderful new facility.
We need the names of people who will personally contact 10 friends
and urge them to vote yes...contacting people in the
neighborhood,
at the gym, in the grocery store, at work and church - this bond
election is good for all of AISD.
If you are willing to contact 10 friends and urge them to
vote yes -
Send Cathy Purdy - [at] - your
name, phone number
and email address. She is keeping a database of each
person who
agrees to contact their friends.
Thanks for all your help to get the PAC ON the Bond election. Now, we
must continue working to be sure it passes!! Please help spread the
word about this exciting facility for our students!" MT
