The Honorable James Brainard
Carmel City Hall
One Civic Square
Carmel, Indiana 46032
Greetings to you once again, Mayor Brainard. Last Spring I stopped by City Hall seeking
information on grants for the Performing Arts and you were gracious enough to give me a
few minutes of your time to explain the process. Now, on behalf of the Indiana Dance
Ambassadors (IDA) from the Carmel Dance Center, I would like to provide some
background to you in support of a request for such a local grant for activities in 2008.
The_Indiana. Dance. Ambassadors first started in 1989 with a goodwill visit to the former
Soviet Union, and since that time an estimated 500 students have benefited not only from
outstanding dance instruction, but also the enhanced confidence /self esteem that comes
with performing under pressure in competitive environments. What's more, they learn to
support their team members through the highs and lows of the season, and what it means
to set and achieve goals with dedication and self discipline.
But the impact of IDA extends not only to the students and staff, for the team also
represents the city of Carmel in numerous competitions and workshops both locally and
nationally. Among our own community, they regularly participate in activities such as
the 4` of July Parade and the Holiday celebrations around the Square. This year, the
dancers are even going to the Riley North campus to entertain and interact with the kids
who are receiving treatment there.
The 2008 schedule for IDA is going to be very physically demanding for the forty -nine
team members and their coaches. In addition, the expenses for props and costumes for
two major productions (junior and senior team), as well as travel to events in Kentucky
and South Carolina, have certainly increased the operating costs for the group. A grant in
the amount of $5,000 would constitute a tremendous gift to our organization and also
honor the city of Carmel's commitment to the Arts. If there is any other supporting
documentation that you need or desire in consideration of this request, please do not
hesitate to contact me at 896 -3404. In addition, you may also reach the Director of IDA,
Amy Western, at 844 -9131. We sincerely appreciate your interest and support in all of
our activities!
With I&ind Regards
Charles Kern
