Walt Whitman Arts Center’s mission is to use world class arts programs
to contribute to the revitalization of Camden.
We at the WWAC have good reason to be glad, and that's because a number of agencies and several people have joined us on our road to success.
Foremost among them are the people recently elected to our
Board of Directors Executive Committee:
Philip Freeman, president to the Board
Dr. Cèsar Tavera, vice president
Neal Zoren, secretary
Donna Barbera, treasurer
In addition to the above individuals, we at the WWAC would like to publicly thank:
- the Superintendent of Public Schools in Camden, Dr. B. LaFra Young, and her staff, especially Ms. Linnell N. Wright and Mr. Reuben Mills
- Mr. Jerry Buckley and Ms. Wendy Melanese of the Campbell Soup Foundation
- Mr. Steve Runk of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, its Board of Directors and staff, with especially warm-hearted thanks to Ms. Julie Ellen Prusinowski for her excellent support and direction.
And to all who have guided me and this organization toward vitality and success, my gratitude is deep.
Charles W. Bechtel
Executive Director
Every non-profit depends on volunteer assistance to get things done.
The Walt Whitman Arts Center uses volunteers to build projects, distribute marketing materials, keep an eye on children during our larger children's functions, maintain our records by entering data, et cetera.
We're looking for specific volunteers, however, to help us develop a Key Volunteer Circle.
As a Key Volunteer, you will give us access to people in your community. The WWAC will call on Key Volunteers to contact others in the community who may want to know what's happening. It's putting Word-of-Mouth to its best use.
So, if you want to volunteer to accept perhaps marketing materials or simple messages for distribution to schools, stores, agencies, transportation centers and the like in your area, please let us know.
We could really use your help.
To send us an email, click here. Otherwise, call Charles at 1-856-964-8300 ext. 106
Your donations, until Dec. 31, 2009, will be gerously matched by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If you are willing to give any amount, the state will then double that amount until we reach $118,000 in donations.
So, please help us provide to our communities.
