Thank you so much for clearing that up.  I now know exactly what it is.  Connie did bring it up in a previous meeting.  It just didn't dawn on my exactly what this was.  I unfortunately won't be able to attend on Monday and am not sure if anyone else was planning on attending.  Thank you so much for the information and we look forward to being a part of this organization.

Hello Rita -

Someone from your organization - Allied Arts Council of Cleveland and 
Bradley County - sent us a check to join a couple of weeks ago; I've 
been out of town for some time and just now am getting around to 
getting you logged onto our listserve. I think Connie Gatlin initially 
found out about us by way of Larry Kosson at SMG Artists who apparently 
convinced you or Connie to join.

Tennessee Presenters is for people like you and me - folks who hire 
performing artists and produce the shows for our community. We were 
founded last summer after years of effort by the Tennessee Arts 
Commission to get such an organization going. The basic mission 
statement we came up with says:

"Tennessee Presenters is a not-for-profit association composed of 
professional performing arts presenting organizations throughout 
Tennessee and affiliates who share the mission of bringing artists and 
audiences together. Tennessee Presenters is a member-based resource 
network created in the spirit of non-competitive cooperation and 
dedicated to the availability, variety, and affordability of 
professional touring arts and entertainment attractions presented 
throughout the state of Tennessee. Tennessee Presenters provides its 
membership with opportunities for cooperative booking, educational 
services, performing arts showcases, collaborative marketing and 
creative communication. "

There is a good deal of information about us at www.tnpresenters.org. I 
hope this web site will give you some more understanding of our mission 
and how we hope to help .

It may be that you would prefer someone else in the council to be on 
this list; if that is the case, I will be glad to change our list to 
reflect your preference.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 870-0563 (I'm 
working out of the house right now while I'm on my two-month break from 
UTC). After July 16, I will also be back at my office and that number 
is 425-4379.

I look forward to your organization's interest and participation in the 
coming year.

Regards,

Bob Boyer
