Sol Fest will run for the entire month of June at Key West High School for students from Kindergarten to High School. In the past, your support has enabled children of all ages to include all of the Lower Keys to participate in this program. Thanks to your help we have seen these same kids join bands at the middle school and high school level. We are thrilled to see some even become professional musicians. 2004 is a critical year for funding because our enrollment has more than doubled. Scholarships are given to anyone in need that has applied. We have over 40% of our students enrolled on scholarship. This year the Bahama Village Music Program is joining us for the entire month of June from 12:00 until 6:00 p.m. Besides singing, dancing and learning musical skills, we have added drumming by the Southernmost Stomp. Steel pan instruction has been added in hopes of forming a permanent steel pan band in Bahama Village. We anticipate a rather large enrollment from the children in the Bahama Village Music program. Please help us keep this program growing by providing the financial aid necessary for so many children in need. Weare thrilled that the program has grown in enrollment. However, this means we must hire more staff and bear the burden of added costs. We look forward to your continued support and engaging so many kids in music for the summer of 2004.

We hope we can count on you to help us with show expenses for what is our biggest fund raiser of the year, as you have for previous years. I know that these are lean times, fiscally speaking, for us all, and will be keeping our expenses to a minimum. We are requesting that you cover the cost of printing and mailing invitations, expected to be approximately $750, and the cost of bringing in Dr. Rachel Williams, our official evaluator from the University of Iowa. As you know, Dr. Williams provides her services free of charge, for which she normally charges $3,000. All she needs is for us to fly her in once a year for an on-site review with focus groups. The cost for her to fly here is approximately $750. Her evaluation is a requirement for us to receive funding from the state, which we have successfully pursued the last 4 years. In addition, we usually spend another $450-600 marketing the event. A donation of $2.100 to underwrite these expenses would be gratefully received. I understand that, pursuant to MCSO financial policies, reimbursement will only occur from receipts. This has been an exciting year for Art Behind Bars. In January, we had 2 beautiful articles in two prestigious national arts magazines. In April, we had a dramatic reading of the play, "Rock Stars" by noted playwright Barbara McConagha based on the life stories of some of our female students. Art After Bars had its gallery debut at Kate's Gallery with a show of artwork by 14 former inmates, all now out and still creating great works of beauty. Many of the artists were on hand for the opening; each participants has completely re-invented themself through art. One, Michael White, has opened his own gallery in Tarpon Springs, and has work hanging at The White House. Another, Melinda Mitchell, has been clean and sober for the past 4 years following 28 years of addiction; she's in her second year of art school while working full time. Dr. Williams was astounded with the success of these people, and our program in general. I needn't remind you of the savings to taxpayers, as well as the community, in lowering recidivism. We recently fulfilled a long-range goal of ours to seed similar programs elsewhere; see enclosed press release. As always. I thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to programs. Pencil in !riday, September 10th, to join us at our Show. I hope to hear from you soon. - Lynne Vantriglia Executive Director Enclosures ~~ P.O.
