Dear Friends of the Arts,
During its first year of operation BCCA has hosted,
created, and facilitated the creation of a great variety
of events, workshops and performances for local and
visiting people of all backgrounds and ages. It has been
warmly welcomed and embraced by the arts community,
who has long awaited the creation of an organization of
its
kind in the central location of Brookline within the
Greater Boston area. BCCA and its staff, instructors,
and collaborators have enjoyed the privilege extended
to it by the town of Brookline and its residents, and are
thankful for it and for the great response and
attendance at our events and classes. It has been a
memorable and rewarding experience and we look
forward to a fruitful future.
In order to continue providing entertainment other than
classes, the Town of Brookline would like us to attain a
formal "Entertainment license (Dance, Martial Arts,
Health, Fitness, Music and the Arts) at 14 Green Street,
with operating hours of Sunday-Saturday 5PM-2AM."
To this end, they have reviewed our case and
have now summoned us for a public hearing/meeting to
be held on
Tuesday, April 27th, 2004
at approximately 8:40 p.m.
in the Selectmen's Hearing Room
6th Floor, Town Hall
333 Washington Street
Brookline, MA
We would like to invite you to attend the hearing, and
need your support as community members who value
and benefit from our offerings, and/or would greatly
appreciate if you could write a letter of
support/feedback. BCCA relies on your input to direct
and improve its offerings and better meet your desires,
artistic, and community/cultural goals.
To that effect, we will be holding a pre-hearing meeting
today, Friday, April 23rd, at 1 p.m., at the BCCA, 14
Green Street, Brookline. During that meeting we plan to
discuss any feedback (negative/positive), current
undertakings and future plans, in hopes that we can
secure the Entertainment license, and continue
delivering quality events.
BCCA events constitute a third of the revenue that is
vital to the BCCA's existence. Our 170+ classes (as
well as rehearsal space rentals) make up the rest of our
earnings. Your support is greatly valued and needed,
and we hope you can join us in support at this critical
juncture.
Please send feedback and/or letters of support to my
attention at
dan_y_marshall@bccaonline.com, or mail/deliver
them to BCCA by Tuesday, April 27th. I may be
reached directly at (617) 970-1444.
Best regards and many thanks,
Dan Yonah Marshall
Artistic Director & Co-Founder
