Strike at the Wind! Receives $1,000.00 Check from New Pembroke
Walmart
Pembroke, NC: At the opening
ceremonies of the new Walmart in Pembroke, NC on October 26, Walmart
officials awarded Carolina Arts Network a contribution in the amount of
$1,000.00.
"What an honor!!! This is very exciting," exclaimed Kay Oxendine, who
received the check
on behalf of the Carolina Arts Network. The contribution will
support Carolina Arts Network's efforts to repair and refurbish the
Adolph L. Dial Amphitheater at the N.C. Indian Cultural Center, home of
the outdoor drama, Strike at the Wind!
"The funds will be used to build on the work we did at our volunteer
day, October 15," says Oxendine. "Over 140 hours of time were
contributed that day. This check will assist us with the supplies and
materials we need to carry on that work and improve the facility for our
whole community," she continued.
"This is exactly the kind of partnership with business that makes the
arts and tourism a successful economic development strategy," says
Malinda Maynor Lowery, board member of the Carolina Arts Network.
"Business involvement is critical to revitalizing Strike at the
Wind!, because businesses have the same investment in the community
that we do."
Since 1976, Strike at the Wind!, a musical outdoor adventure, has told
the story of the Lowrie War, one of the most important events in North
Carolina history. Strike at the Wind! embodies the values of freedom,
independence, and equality on which our nation and state were founded.
Tickets will be available February 2006 for the 30th Anniversary season!
