A coming, fantastic addition to the city

Not enough is being said about and for the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts that's going up here in town.

It's going to be fantastic.

This is long overdue in town and will be a huge benefit and centerpiece for the city and region.

Besides being an incredibly beautiful building by Moshe Safdie, the renowned architect, it's also going to be intricately adjusted within so it has phenomenal acoustics, I understand.

Personally, I can hardly wait for its opening in the Fall of 2011.

It can't come soon enough.

Right now, I think more needs to be said of and for it so we all get behind it, as a city, so it's terrifically successful.

This should be of great benefit to nearly all of us--all socio-economic classes, everyone.

So at this moment, while you can, you might go to their website and learn more about it, sign up for their newsletters and possibly even volunteer to further their work. While you're at it, if you can, you might even donate to the cause.

I never want to forget Ewing, Muriel and now their daughter, Julia Irene Kauffman, since, without any of the three of them, we wouldn't have this magnificent jewel.

It will benefit everyone huh? I'm so looking forward to limosine liberals next to a nice family of four from the East side who has to decide whether to go see the symphony or eat for a month. Can't wait.

As a joco person.....I'm excited about it too. Any chance to go downtown is good for me.

JOCO,

Again, quoting above (you must have missed it):

"This should be of great benefit to nearly all of us..."

Naturally, there will be people who will not or cannot go to the Center, when it opens.

That said, I'm sure there will be programs for the schools to bring their kids there and they will be from virtually all socio-economic levels in town.

thanks for your note,

MR
