SMAC Update September 27, 2010
Greetings!

I would like to welcome Deborah Edward aboard as Project Manager of the Mayor's For Art's Sake initiative.  Deborah has a wealth of wonderful experience and is already involved with our planning on the Any Given Child initiative.  We look forward to continuing to work with her and continuing our service to the For Art's Sake initiative.

Please join me in congratulating SMAC's own Erika Kraft, Arts Education Coordinator, who is among the esteemed list of nominees chosen for an award from the Arts & Business Council of Sacramento.  Ms. Kraft is among 2 other teaching artists nominated for Arts Educator of the Year.
