Progress at the MAC

The building committee has been getting bids from sprinkler companies and from air conditioning places. When these costs have been ascertained, then we will know more about what we can do with the interior and how soon. Our target date is still December. I believe it can be done!

Strategic Planning

The Board had an all day meeting with Cissy Mynatt of the Center for Non-Profit Management in May. We met at the Coffee County Administrative Plaza. We went over the answers to a survey from Cissy and found that for the most part we were all in agreement as to our mission and vision for the Manchester Arts Center and the Commission. We also began our evaluation of the best ways to meet the goals of the MMAC for MAC. We will have another meeting with Cissy again in June. We look forward to this session.

Cissy is a great facilitator and will, we know, enable us to make concrete plans for the future. We will be working on a three year plan and a 5 year plan and the best way to turn the plans into reality.

Classes as Soon as Possible

We have met with two people who would like to begin music classes at the Center just as soon as a space can be carved out for them. The resumes look really good and we hope to be having guitar and piano lessons before too long.
