Members of the Warren County Arts and Culture Center Board of  Trustees along with the Warren County Commissioners, The Warren County Port Authority,  The WCACC Advisory Council, and other regional friends of the arts were invited to  Marge and Dan Cunningham's   lakeside cabin for a Celebration of the coming WCACC Arts and Culture Center. 

The Theme of the Celebration was "Let Us Move Forward Together." 

After a time to meet people and exchange ideas about the Warren County Arts and Culture Center, a buffet dinner was enjoyed by all.

A program included  presentations on the value of Regional Dayton-Cincinnati-Butler and Warren County Collaborations by Dan Cunningham, Patty Beggs; CEO and General Director of the Cincinnati Opera; Thomas Bankston, General & Artistic Director, Dayton Opera,  and Evans Mirageas; Artistic Director of the Cincinnati Opera. The presentations were augmented by the inclusion of Winston Churchill, Paul Potts, Jose Carreras, Placida Domingo, and Lucian Pavarotti, and live entertainment by the Cincinnati Opera Educational Outreach Ensemble.

The conclusion of the evening was a "Spread the Word" balloon release lead by Marge Cunningham with attached notes that said "Warren County Arts and Culture Center- Coming Soon" 

Also, please find attached material from the Celebration for you to enjoy!

         Regarding Sir Winston Churchill, note how he used art as a form of communication, both with rhetoric and the use of poetry.

         Note the excitement of the audiences- that is the excitement we are looking for in our WCACC facilities.

         Note the performers; some have slight experience,  (Paul Potts

         Others many years of experience (3 Tenors        http://youtube.com/watch?v=oc6wgV_oWTI)

All exude the excitement we are looking for in our WCACC performances. 

Best regards,
