had to improvise lighting systems that are necessary <br />ry but weren't e t called for in the original <br />design. There is a sound baffle supporting additional lights above the front of the stage <br />that is on the verge of falling down, but the school system doesn't have a lift tall enough <br />to reach it. And those are just the major problems! <br />This building is a County asset that requires proper maintenence for it to continue <br />to work well. Many non - school community groups use the building at! rate of 1 1/2 <br />times per month. They pay minimal rent because it is a community building, built with <br />bond funds. The fees collected from them are not used to maintain the building, <br />however. For that reason, we are appealing to you to help us preserve this <br />community asset by supplying funds for replacement items, and maintenance. If <br />you are interested, I have a list of 19 organizations that have used this facility in the last 2 <br />years- -many have used it more than once. They range from non-profit arts organizations <br />such as Touch Mime and Dansync to religious organizations, to professional performers <br />and local dance schools. <br />It is a difficult situation in that three bureaucracies (county, school, town) can claim, or <br />typically not claim ownership and maintenance responsibility. It is time to view what is <br />best for the community and get the job done! I hope you will give serious <br />consideration to our request, in light of the fact many students and citizens are served by <br />this facility. Thank you. <br />Users of the Hanes Performance Center at Chapel Hill High School <br />August, 1989 -May, 1991 <br />
