Wednesday October 10, 2007 was a busy day! Business leaders from Lehigh Acres traveled to the Alliance for the first half of their day full of arts and non-profit organizations learning. It's a part of the Lehigh Chamber of Commerce Leadership Development program: Leadership Lehigh.
First thing, the Southwest Florida Symphony presented to them about the opportunities in Symphonic Music. Then Gulfshore Playhouse talked about what it takes to start and grow a theatre. The Alliance for the Arts spent time telling them about the arts in Lee County in general.
Among the many brochures and fliers, one thing they mosts certainly took with them is a firm sense that there is PLENTY to do and get involved with around this area.
Also, contrary to popular saying, arts and culture is not the icing on the cake...it's the yeast in the dough that makes a community and its businesses grow and rise. That's certainly a cause worth supporting!
By they way, the play "Life (x) 3" closes tomorrow night at the Foulds. Be sure and get your tickets! The Lehigh Leadership group is posing on the play's set!
