EDUCATION Who
doesn't believe in a commitment to Arts & Music as a basic
part of every student's education? Unfortunately since 1979,
California schools have continued to remain little better than
last in arts funding among the 50 states. Don't let your kid
be left behind, get them into the West Coast's Spring pageant of
the 21st century with a Carnaval arts organization soon.. |

The SF Bike coalition is also the main local sponsor for the national

promises that were made and not kept," said Mary Dollar, co-founder

Next
year the production of Carnaval is going out to bid, with a review board
comprised of neighborhood representatives, MNC staff and artists overseeing the
process. ...
"Respondents
were concerned that Carnaval was going downhill because it wasn’t organized
enough. It was decided to put the production of Carnaval out to bid.
According to Lisa Gutierrez, Mayor’s liaison to the Mission District,
“Our goal is to make sure that the next producer has plans to acquire and
distribute funds. Some performers
spend more than $30,000 for Carnaval, including rehearsal space, musicians,
truck, costumes and floats.”
