As a non-profit organization, it is always frightening to leave one successful event behind in order to embark on a journey less known. We wish to gratefully acknowledge last year’s encouraging level of support that ushered Captain White’s Lowcountry BASH onto the Alamance County scene. Many thanks to E.W. Fulcher and Catering Works of Raleigh for bringing the taste and the spirit of the Lowcountry to Captain White’s BASH. This annual fall event is the major fundraising occasion for the Alamance County Arts Council and your support is invaluable for the continuation of its programming. Your presence tonight reconfirms your commitment to the arts and we thank you so very much for being here. The 2013 Lowcountry Bash Committee extends special appreciation to all the volunteers, art patrons, artists and area businesses for joining us in making tonight’s event a success. We could not present this remarkable evening without you. Please do have a wonderful time. Bid, sip, shuck and shag for the Arts.

We need your help to enhance the lives of local school children and young adults through three vital arts education programs. The 2013 Captain White’s Lowcountry Bash Committee selected this cause as our Fund a Need this evening. This year, we received a $2,000 grant from Target to assist our theater education program, Go Live, but that is only a small part of the puzzle we are yet to complete. We need an additional $10,000 to successfully carry out the rest of our educational programs. Our auctioneer will request financial support from everyone here tonight for this very worthwhile endeavor. Ramp It Up is a successful program which pairs local artists with after school children to provide enrichment activities once a month, such as shaping clay into bowls or weaving textiles. The program benefits the students by nurturing innate creativity, building skills in communications, problem-solving and group dynamics and instilling in them a new enthusiasm for school. Go Live brings a live performance experience to every second grader in Alamance County. An acting troupe performs a well-known story such as The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. Then the students receive curriculum connections in their classroom by local theater professionals. This year, the Children’s Theater of Charlotte performed Hansel and Gretel and Jeff Aguiar of Burning Coal Theatre Co. (Raleigh, NC) carried out student and teacher workshops. High School Scholarships are offered each year to students planning to further their education in one of the arts disciplines. Our newest scholarship honors the recently passed James Wilson, who was the founder and driving force behind Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre. The scholarships are awarded to four seniors in the amount of $500 each. Your financial contributions toward Fund A Need help to ensure that these arts education programs reach these children and young adults who might not have had the opportunity otherwise.
