Hi, everyone. Here is the CDP calendar.

Hey, have you read the Pulse yet? It's the new Arts and Culture weekly, 
published by Culture Systems, LLC. You'll find them at the Fine Arts

publishers will enlighten us on where else you can pick one up.

Don't forget we have the Massari Wood Nutcracker at the Fine Arts Center 
this week as well. Call 425-4269 for tickets.
