We are a non-profit, totally self- funded organization of 47 women dedicated to the teaching and performance of four-part harmony, barbershop style. We meet in Dublin every Monday night at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection on Amador Valley Blvd. Although we are affiliated with Sweet Adelines, Inc. , all money to operate comes from our member's dues, fund raisers and occasional donations from the groups we sing for. Our rehearsals are open to everyone and guests may audition to join us after attending three times. We are essentially a community chorus and the only group of this kind in the area. We sing for many civic events including Dublin's Cityhood Celebration, the City Council for "Share A Song Week 1982" and for Dublin's Founder's Day picnic and barbeque. We also sing for convalescent hospitals, senior citizen's groups, veteran's hospital and various clubs and organizations in Dublin and throughout the Tri-Valley area. Our director is Mr. Jim Brockman, former choral director at Granada High School . Proper vocal production and music education, along with perfor- mance technique, is stressed in our chorus. Our chorus was chartered in • 1978 and we have grown from 20 to our present 47 members. Our chorus needs risers to accommodate our growing membership so that we may see our director more clearly and for the audience to see us and enjoy our performance to the fullest. • Last May our chorus contracted to buy five sections of risers from the Wenger Company for the sum of $1 ,300.00. We still owe $971 .05 which is due next month. In the meantime, our chorus has grown too large (happily) i 2 \ • I purchase two more sections I We need to p total , modiate our entire membership• purchase, of $1 ,900.00 �. . to accom The riser p We have rice of $300.00 each.

Our Major Production Program provides high quality family drama and \ entertainment for the Tri-Valley community. A Young Performers Program provides theatre skills, puppetry, mime and pre-school training for young people who wish to explore their own creative potential. Tremendous demeand from teachers, students and school administrators has prompted CTW to commit a large percentage of its resources to its Theatre-in-the-Schools Program which provides live touring shows, theatre education and teacher in-service training at the school site. To meet the increasing demand for its Theatre-in-the Schools Program, CTW is requesting $3,000 from Arco Inc. to help finance • I the acquisition of tourable lighting equipment for our school productions. Over $5,000 in grants from East Bay Foundation, 1 Alameda County Arts Commission , Pacific Telephone and Chevron Inc. have already been received to help fund two school touring productions and teacher in-service programs for the 1982-83 season. Arco's grant will ensure that these productions and all future ones will be properly and professionally illuminated. Please let us know if you require any further information. We would be most pleased to meet with you to discuss Children's Theatre Workshop's goals and aspirations for the future.

LIGHTING EQUIPMENT During its first season, Children's Theatre Workshop transported three major theatrical productions to various non-theatre locations in the Tri-Valley Area. Thus CTW was required to provide all of its own lighting equipment--dimmers, instruments, stands, cabling, follow spots, special effects, etc. Various sources were used for this equipment. All items were borrowed or rented at great expense in funds and energy. Equipment was limited due to the needs of its owners. Inspite ( of these limitations, CTW created plays with exciting lighting effects due to the creativity and resourcefulness of its lighting designers and producers. With the advent of its 1982-83 season and an expanded major production program and school touring program to Dublin,San Ramon, Pleasanton and Livermore, CTW will increase its production and performance rate by one hundred percent. Children's Theatre Workshop can no longer depend upon the borrowing and renting of lighting equipment. Time conflicts and prohibitive rental fees ..: require the acquisition of a theatrical lighting system. A touring system, as delineated in the following budget will allow CTW tolrovide quality lighting effects for its Theatre-in- the-Schools Program.

Box 1922 • Pleasanton, CA 94566 Dear Mr. Jorgensen: • I was originally introduced to the work of Children's Theatre Workshop at a Rotary meeting in Dublin. Jim Krause, one of your Board members, discussed the various theatre and drama education programs you were implementing in the , • valley. I was particularly intrigued by the touring programs to valley schools and indicated to Jim that the Murray School District would be most supportive of such a program. . It is my understanding that Children's Theatre now anticipates beginning this touring theatre program to schools in the fall of 1982; that it will provide an historical-understanding of puppet theatre from its origins to the present, and will entertain the children while instructing our teachers in various Uses of puppetry in the classroom. It sounds like an exciting program and one in which the Murray School District would very much like to participate. Please call when you are ready to schedule the performances so that we might . . meet with the appropriate principals and the curriculum director.

The Masque presentation of"Beauty and the Beast"may be new to some of us,but both the theme and form of this play have impressive histories. The beast-marriage story is common to many cultures.It dates back as far as the second century AD.with similarities found in Cupid and Psyche by Apuleius.Apuleius,in turn,almost certainly was ( retelling an older Greek story. The masque dramatic form became popular among the aristocracy in England during the 16th and 17th centuries.It was usually based on myth or allegory with dialogue taking second place to lavish costumes,scenery,music and dancing.Extended dialogue, usually in verse,was added later. In Italy,the masque reached even more spectacular heights.At Parma in 1628 a masque was given for a royal wedding.The production combined opera,tournament,ballet,and regatta.Its climax was the flooding of the theater floor(Could we try this,Andy?)and the entry of several pageantry cars representing sea monsters and islands.Each was propelled by men who guided them from beneath. After the display the waters were drained away as miraculously as they had appeared. The masque was usually given for the pleasure of a monarch,so we will be in classy historical company when we attend this upcoming CTW production. Dede Ranahan $3,500 FOUNDATION GRANT APPROVED The East Bay Community Foundation recently announced a$3,500,grant to Children's Theatre i • , • Workshop to fund,in part,an ambitious,original puppet show and teacher in-service program which . • will tour to valley schools in the spring of 1983.The puppet show will introduce its audiences to the - - 500 year history of puppetry, its myriad forms and its development in cultures around the world.

Dear Mr. Ambrose: Thank you for the information regarding the Atlantic Richfield offer to • • provide funds for local cultural and arts groups. Since there is, as yet, no specific policy regarding the distribution of these funds I will confine this letter to introducing Children's Theatre Workshop and describing our programs. I- will be happy to submit a complete proposal at your request. The workshop is fifteen months old and has in that time produced a • series of major plays which have travelled to Pleasanton, Dublin and • Livermore. The plays offer high quality family theatre to the residents of the valley. We seek corporate grants to underwrite the production costs of these plays. • A program of classes in creative dramatics and theatre skills parallels the plays and provides a vehicle for those young people interested in pursuing theatre training. This program works in conjunction with the city recreation departments and/or after school programs, Over 200 students have completed classes in creative dramatics. This program seeks funding to sustain and enhance its offerings. • Additionally, Children's Theatre Workshop conducts a Theatre in the Schools program in local elementary and middle schools. We bring - productions directly to the educational campus. The 1982-83 schedule 1 - • - includes O. Henry's marvelous short story The Ransom of Red Chief and Puppets, an original production of CTW which traces the history of i - 1 puppetry from the middle ages to modern times through the use of multi-media, hand puppets and live actors. We are currently pursuing funding for this program which will visit 20. to 30.valley schools. Our participant base is composed of children and their families from the three valley cities and San Ramon. In our first year of operation over 6,000 people attended our productions. Anticipated attendance in 1982-83 is 12,000. Our funding is derived from a variety of sources. The greatest • . percentage of revenue comes directly from ticket sales and tuition followed by foundation grants, individual donations, corporate grants and fund raising events.

Box 2340 RECEIVED Dublin, California '14566 NOV 81982 CITY OF DUBLIN Dear Mr. Ambrose: Recently in the Valley Times, I read an article titled, "ARCO will donate funds to community." The article mentioned the possible donations to start and bolster community projects. The article states that Lab Director Gene Fox observed no community chorus or orchestra. However I am pleased to mention that the ---- - -- -� - Tri-Valley Area does have its own orchestra (The Livermore-Amador Symphony Association, P.O. Box 1049, Livermore, CA 94550), its own chorus (valley Choral Society, c/o Mary Patton, 1583 Wagoner St., Livermore, CA 94550) , as well as a community band (Pleasanton Community Band, P.O. Box 135, • Pleasanton, CA 94566). All three organizations have been • • • performing throughout the Tri-Valley area for many, many years and recruit members throughout this region. All three groups, especially the second, are faced with rising costs that threaten their very existance. As President of the Pleasanton Community Band, I can hest describe our own situation. Our hand performs approximately 12 one-hour concerts a year_ Our hand provides a variety of programming; from Christmas sing-alongs to picnic concerts in the park; from J. S. Bach to J. P. Sousa. Concerts are always free to the public. The major expense of our organization is conductor fees for rehearsals and concerts. Our director is paid very modestly compared to other musical groups in the area--our conductor fees for 1983 are budgeted at approximately $1500. Other expenses include sheet music, instrument and . accessory costs for a total 1983 budget of $1800. By agreement with the Amador High School District the school facilities are - provided without charge--an arrangement that has allowed us to • exist so far. However, the use of these facilities requires that - we have no membership fees. Our revenue is entirely from • fund-raising events and donations by members and the community. It is very fortunate that we pay our director half of the fee which he could ordinarily command, otherwise the Band would not exist today. • It is uLfortunate the the ARCO article mentioned that r-r. Fox was not interested in public works capital projects, since a major stumbling blocks to local music groups and to the formation of new musical groups in the Tri-valley area is the lack of a suitable performing center. There is an effort by the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Council (P.O. Box 1293, Pleasanton, CA 94566) to create a Tri-Valley Community Center. The first stage of this long-term project is to renovate the Amador High School Theater. The price tag for this restoration is at least $35000, not including continuing costs. Thank you for your time, and I hope the above information will help you in some way. s ly, Isej • Donald R. Faul President, • Pleasanton Community Rand P.O.

Box 286 CITY OF DURUM CChoLivermore, California 94550 horal October 1, 1982 Richard Ambrose City Manager P.O. Box 2340 Dublin, California 94568 Dear Mr. Ambrose: I spoke with you on the telephone on September 29 regarding the Atlantic Richfield Company's interest in contributing funds to community projects. : As you requested, I am now submitting information to acquaint you with our organization. The Valley Choral Society, a four-part mixed voice chorus currently composed of 25 singers, has been in existence since 1963. The name of the group reflects the interest of the chorus in actively pursuing growth throughout the Tri-Valley area. We currently have, or have had in the recent past, members from Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, and Castro Valley. The choral season runs from September through June, and three major concerts a season are given, in addition to selected special performances. Concerts have been held in several locations in Livermore and Pleasanton, and our most recent performance, on June 6 of this year, took place at John Knox United Presbyterian Church in Dublin. The chorus performs a wide variety of fine choral music, including many works of the great composers--Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, Brahms, to name a few, as well as music of more contemporary com- posers. Membership in the chorus is open to any interested singer, subject to the discretion of the director based on auditions. i _ Edwin Flath, beginning his second season as music director of the Valley Choral Society, is a well-known and highly regarded Bay Area f conductor, pianist and organist. For the past eleven years he has been director of the California Bach Society, a choral group which he founded, with chapters in San Francisco and Palo Alto. With the appointment of Mr. Flath as director, the scope of the chorus' per- formances has widened to include orchestral accompaniment, rather than piano alone, and professional musicians as guest soloists and accompanists. Under Mr. Flath's direction the shorus is achieving a level of musical competence well beyond that usually found in amateur community choral groups. Expenses incurred by the chorus include those for Mr. Flath's salary, rental of facilities for rehearsals and concerts, printing of programs and publicity literature, and fees for guest performers. The chorus is a non-profit organization, and singers pay annual registration fees, Page 2 currently $100.00 per year per member, and purchase their-own music. Registration fees, with current membership enrollment, cover only about 30% of our expenditures. Remaining expenses must be met through contributions from individual community members and businesses and from fund-raisers and ticket sales. Given the present economic situa- tion, it has become increasingly difficult to procure funds in this manner. In addition, the financial obligations of the chorus have increased significantly in the past year as a result of the expanded program we are pursuing and the salary requirements of a director of the caliber of Mr. Flath. • As we would very much like to maintain the present level of musical quality, which benefits not only chorus members but the entire com- munity as well, we are earnestly searching for additional sources • of funding. We will be pleased to supply you with any additional i information to assist you in the selection process and hope that we . will be given serious consideration as a beneficiary of the Atlantic Richfield Company's generous funding offer. - Sincerely, ' • Kathleen Walker, President Valley Choral Society 443-9889 • • a community dedicated to the ideal C p of a quality Ill and 1/th their the • terminally(il and their lamlNes October 8, 1982 125.0 W.Neal Street P.O.Box 1134 Pleasanton,CA 94566 f= L E 1 (415)462.9353 Mr. Richard Ambrose V E D City Mananger OCT 12198 P. 0.
