This came today. Apparently too few appliedto the former deadline. Karen thought it might be because of the mess at MCC. There must be people out there who would love to have their work tour the province - so hustle, folks, don't miss this deadline.

MCC STUFF

Ron Mark phoned today and left a message to say that the new MCC board handed in a proposal to Cultural Affairs this morning to seek $25,000 to make it possible to hire an accountant to do an audit of the last 2 years, and to hire a consultant to help make a plan for moving forward. They hope to hear in a couple of weeks. In the meantime they are contacting creditors and trying to take care of what they can.
