You should be commended for the variety of experiences that you are offering to your different clients.<br /><br />With regard to your funding cuts, when our second tier state government cut all funding to things like school based programs and literary awards, these program directors went out and lobbied big business to support these community based initiatives to keep the arts alive in our state. <br /><br />So I am telling you this to give you some ideas. It is not good when governments impose funding cuts. In my local area yesterday government cuts meant 200 health related jobs were axed.<br /><br />So all the set guys ..
