January 3, 1984 <br />T0: Members of the Common Council <br />RE: Proposed Nonreverting fund for 'improvements <br />concerning the Morris Civic Auditorium <br />�ntery <br />The Morris Civic Auditorium is a facility which, since 1980, has <br />been managed by the Century Center Board of Managers. The Auditorium <br />is a grand facility that serves our Michiana community well, hosting <br />such events as the South Bend Symphony, Broadway Theater League, Southold <br />Dance(the Nutcracker performances this past December drew audiences <br />in excess of seventeen thousand persons, mostly children), Convention <br />meetings, etc. <br />Although the Auditorium is structurally very strong, many improvements <br />are needed, such as, restrooms for the handicapped, carpeting, reception <br />area for "meet the artists ", stage expansion, electric wiring for the <br />"house ", etc. Hence, the major users of the Auditorium have enthusias- <br />tically endorsed the procedure that a portion of the ticket sales would <br />be set aside for improvements. Too, one could anticipate other individuals <br />and groups desiring to make donations to improve the facility. <br />Since the Auditorium is such an asset to our City, it is requested <br />that an ordinance be instituted establishing the special Non - reverting <br />Improvement Fund for the Morris Civic Auditorium. <br />Thank you, <br />Brian Hedman <br />Executive Director <br />120 South Saint Joseph Street <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(219) 284 -9711 <br />
