>Hi, everyone.

>Welcome back from your holidays. This Sunday at 7:30pm,
> >Patten Performances presents Ailey II, the acclaimed repertory company of
> >the Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, directed by Sylvia Waters, with members
> >trained at the Ailey School in New York City. The company will perform the
> >Ailey  classic "Revelations," pieces by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre
> >Artistic Director Judith Jamison and resident choreographer Troy Powell.
> >Thanks to funding from Southern Arts Federation and MetLife Foundation, the
> >company will also conduct classes with students from UTC, Center for
> >Creative Arts, Girls Preparatory School, Baylor, Ballet Tennessee and
> >Chattanooga Ballet.
> >
> >Are you starting to get the picture? if not, I invite you to look at the
> >company photos and biographical information at
> >http://www.alvinailey.org/ailey2.asp. Or pick up a Pulse at the Fine Arts
> >Center, the University Center, any local coffee shop and see the  article
> >with color photos. Or check out the Friday Times Free Press when it comes
> >to your door. There is even a display in the Fine Arts Center lobby.
> >
> >Wondering about dinner before the performance? Have you seen the remodeled
> >Mayor's Mansion yet? You won't believe it. This year we embarked on a
> >partnership with them to reinstitute the dinners we had attempted for
> >several seasons at the Patten House. We hope that this makes your evening
> >complete. And I do want your feedback about the dining experience. The
> >Mayor's Mansion are serving a grilled chicken entree on Sunday, with a
> >beautiful salad, pasta bar, mixed vegetables and caramel apple cake for
> >$22. Call 265-5000 by Friday for reservations. And you will only have to
> >park once, because it is across the street from the Fine Arts Center,
> >corner of Vine and Palmetto.
> >
> >Tomorrow I will send you  note about a special event next week, thanks to
> >our Lupton Renaissance Grant and the SunTrust Chair of Excellence in the
> >Humanities. For now, get ready to experience the thrill and the beauty of
> >modern dance, Sunday.
> >
> >Call the box office at 425-4269 before tickets are gone. If you wait until
> >Sunday, we may turn you away. And we really hate to do that.
> >
> >See you Sunday!
