Start of New Membership Year
Happy Monday!
I’m happy to report that the Arts Council has mailed out our brand new updated membership brochure at the end of last week! We mailed out over 1,000 and are looking forward to the type of response we get from area residents for support of the arts. If you didn’t receive a membership brochure and would like to become a 2010-2011 Aberdeen Area Arts Council member, stop by our office in the Central building on 3rd Ave. SE, give the office a call at 226-1557, or you can also become a member through the website. Great thanks to Nathen Cantwell at Production Monkeys for creating the amazing new brochure! We are very excited for the different arts programs coming up in the next year!

State Arts Conference
Just like everyone else, I am beginning to wonder what happened to summer. I can’t believe that school starts next week already. I did have an opportunity this summer to read the book “The Art of the Turnaround” by Michael M. Kaiser. Michael is President of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. I heard him speak in May. Very good.
As summer is coming to an end, August is a month to catch our breath and get ready for the fall. I am looking forward to the State Wide Arts Conference at Cedar shore Resort in Chamberlain September 17-19. It has been 5 years since a state wide conference was held. It looks like there will be some excellent presenters. Go to the South Dakotans for the Arts website to register for the conference – it is open to everyone – and read more about what is planned. Hope to see some of you there!

A Note From Willson and McKee
Aberdeen Arts Council!
A great thank you for all you do, especially artists in residence! Visiting all the elementary schools in Aberdeen, through your efforts has been a great honor and memory making part of our touring career!!
Willson & McKee, South Dakota Arts Council Artists
Willson and McKee completed their 4th Artists in the Schools and Community residency in Aberdeen this year. The Aberdeen Area Arts Council has made a commitment to sponsor one residency per year, rotating them throughout the 5 public elementary schools and Roncalli. So far, they have spent a week at May Overby, OM Tiffany, CC Lee and this year at Lincoln.

Mauvais Sort music was very good
Dear Aberdeen Chamber of Arts,
Thank you for having Mauvais Sort come to our school. It was fun to have them here. The music was very good and fun. My favorite part was when we got to go down and dance with them. It’s very cool they can speak French and sing in French. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Gus- Roncalli Elementary

Mauvais Sort in French Class!
Stacy,
Thank you so much for bringing Mauvais Sort to my French classroom. Many of the students went to the concert and several bought CDs. We have been listening to mine in class. It was a great opportunity for us.

Loved all the Chapter 6 songs
Dear Aberdeen Arts Council,
Thank you for letting us hear Chapter 6. They were awesome. I loved all of the songs they sang. I especially loved the song by Cold Play, that they did and the Krispy Kreme Donus song they did. I still loved them all. The wizard of Oz was really funny. The guy who played the lion sounded exactly like the lion on the Wizard of Oz. Than you again.
