Cultural Center Receives CPA Funding
At Town Meeting on April 12, Yarmouth voters overwhelmingly showed their belief in a future for the Cultural Center of Cape Cod by voting “yes” for Community Preservation Act funding for up to $400,000. So thank you Yarmouth voters, Founding Sponsors, Capital Campaign donors, volunteers and supporters of all kinds! With all your help, the Cultural Center has made a giant leap towards completing renovations and officially opening the building by Jan. 1, 2007! (see further details in newsletter)

Last Call for Founding Sponsors Before New Membership Program Begins
With CPA funding and the building renovation going into its final phase, the temporary Cultural Center “Founding Sponsor” program will soon be officially phased out and replaced by a permanent membership program. This will become the Center’s key source for sustaining the building and its programs. Until then every first time donor will be considered a Founding Sponsor and will have their name permanently displayed in the completely renovated building. Many donors take this opportunity to make a gift in honor of special people in their lives or in memory of a loved one. There is no minimum gift amount to become a Founding Sponsor. Please send donations to Cultural Center of Cape Cod at PO Box 118, South Yarmouth, MA 02664 with pertinent information. Thank you!
