In a decade where all I ever hear about is how the national government is cutting budgets, it is nice to hear about who is making an effort to keep everything funded in our community. Maybe I am still bitter about the nagging from last weeks article, but I feel like more organizations should be doing this. In fact, I think that local theaters, or the cultural trust, should fund arts programs at the schools. All they would be doing is investing into the next generation of their own hires. Maybe these people already contribute and I am just ignorant to that, but food for thought..
