Kitchen Plans Underway
In the near future we will be putting in a holding kitchen, or a place which can be used by anyone bringing in food for an event. We hope to follow that with a community room which can be rented by groups for special events.
We believe we have someone who is purchasing naming rights for the kitchen. And we will be offering other rooms for sale with naming rights for 15 years. If you are interested, please contact any commissioner.

The Giving Tree
The Middle TN Woodworkers are beginning work on the tree to be placed in the hallway of the Manchester Arts Center which will have the names of our donors since we began work on this new building. They do outstanding work and it is sure to be a work of art its self!
MAC White II
MAC White II is now available at Bean's Creek Winery! You can visit the winery and taste it for yourself. Better yet, buy some to enjoy with friends! No better deal; enjoy and help the Arts Center for only $16.40!
A bottle of MAC White II was one of the prizes given at the St. Paddy's Day Party on March 20 with the South Jackson Street Band. The judges for the dance events also got a bottle of MAC White II!!
Try it, you'll like it!!
WAG Resumed Meetings in January
A note from Jackie: "Hi, I think I'm ALMOST recovered from Alice, (and Always...Patsy Cline,) so it's time to start thinking about what's next for WAG. I'd like to resume Tuesday night meetings on January 12."
The MMAC is ordering the following scripts from Samuel French to take a look at for a non-musical:
The Clown Prince of Wanderlust
Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs
The Wind in the Willows
The Wizard of Oz
Jackie has plans for a non-musical in the spring and a musical next fall.
MMAC is extremely proud of everyone involved with WAG for their production of Alice in Wonderland!
In spite of the SNOWS (and consequently no school) and the lateness of the arrival of scripts, WAG met Tuesday, February 16 at the Manchester Arts Center. They began studying the script, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." The group is just beginning to look and decide on which scripts to persue for a production. IT IS NOT TO LATE TO JOIN!
If you have any questions about WAG...time, date, age range... please email jackiemasiella@hotmail.com
