Reaches 1/3 Of Goal The 1983 fund drive for the Duplin County Arts Council has been extended through the month of April, an nounced executive director Merle Creech Monday. "The schools have been doing a wonderful job in raising mone> for next year's pro graming," said Mrs. Creech, "and now we want to let everyone else in Duplin County know just how much we appreciate and need their support." The goal of this year's drive is $12,000. As of March 21, approximately $4,SCO has been turned in. "Many areas in the county have not turned in their monies collected," reported Mrs. Creech, "but the touch of spring weather and healthier conditions should lift spirits and in crease mobility of workers." All money collected are used for programming. The position of Arts Council di rector is a county seat and therefore all collections are turned back to Duplin County citizens in the form of pro grams. "Most of our programs go irtto the schools." reported Mrs. Creech. "This year has been exciting in that, for the first time, every single oi\e of our 17 schools has had at least two programs from the Arts Council. My biggest concern towards meeting our fund drive goal of S12.000 is that we will be able to continue bringing quality arts at this frequency to the children in the county." The schools are not the only places to see the Arts Council at work. This year the CART program has taken art into businesses. Many senior citizen centers have also had a visit from an AC artist. At the county fair, the quilt show, the school art display and the Green Grass Clcggers were sponsored by the Arts Council. In addition, many clubs and groups have turned to the DCAC for help in programming. "Our volunteers cannot reach every person and busi ness in the county. We would appreciate all citizens in Duplin responding to our fund-raising campaign and to send their contribution di rectly to the Duplin County Arts Council, P.O. Bo* 36, Kenansville, NC 28349." Creech concluded, "Duplin County has had a rich year in the arts this pasi year. Let's make it even batter in 1981. ?* 1984."
