The Citizen, 1986-12-23, Page 38PAGE 38. THE CITIZEN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1986. Munro announces new arts fundraising program How would you like to double your money? That’s what more than 200 Ontario arts organizations will have the opportunity of doing during the next three years. Investment In The Arts, a bold new $10 million program launched today, will offer one dollar for every dollar raised by Ontario arts organizations. Lily Munro, Minister of Citizen­ ship and Culture, said the new program will help arts organiza­ tions to achieve stability and encourage financial self-sufficien­ cy. “Investments In The Arts will match one dollar for every fund- raising base,’’ she said. “And, if the dollar comes from a new corporate donor we will provide it two to one.’’ The program will provide arts organizations with the opportunity of regaining a solid financial standing. The monies raised will be put into an endowment fund with the organization having ac­ cess to the interest,’’ she said. “And the matching Ministry mon­ ies can be used to retire the accumulated deficit.’’ r* HOLIDAY HOURS LOUNGE Closed Christmas Eve 5 p.m. Closed Christmas Day Closed Boxing Day Closed New Year's Eve 5 p.m. Closed New Year's Day DINING ROOM Closed Christmas Day Open Boxing Day Christmas Buffet 1:00 p.m. & 3:00 p.m. Open New Year's Day Roast Beef Buffet 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Ontario-based arts organiza­ tions which have been serving the community for three years, have operating budgets in excess of $75,000, and are currently receiv­ ing assistance through the Ontario Arts Council are eligible. Arts organizations in northern Ontario are eligible with an operating budget of $50,000 and over. Major arts service organizations are also included in the program in recognition of their financial needs in maintaining a viable and very important support network. ‘ ‘A healthy cultural sector bene­ fits a society both spiritually and economically,” she said. “Many people do not realize that the cultural sector is Canada’s 11th largest manufacturing industry and is the sixth largest employer. As well, culture can open doors to many international opportunities such as trade.” “Investing in the arts makes good economic sense.” Precious gifts Continued from Pg. 4 truth is forgotten, what is left? One of the gifts I would like to be able to give you is a sense of patience. Itissoeasy tobecome impatient with yourself, those you love and the world in general. So often things move so slowly and as we creep from day to day it seems little changes, little improves. But someday when you look back on your life, you’ll see how things really seemed tochange so quickly. May you also have the ability to step above the day-to-day crisis, to know that the things that seem too urgent today will a day from now, a month from now or a year from now seem so unimportant. We create so much stress for ourselves because we become so wrapped up in our day-to-day troubles that we make them too important instead of realizing that we’ll always muddle through and tomorrow will be a better day.
