LADIES OF LAUGHTER

Dear TCAN Members, When TCAN launched the Generations Capital Campaign back in 2013, we set out to achieve three big goals. The strategy was pretty simple – secure a brighter future for TCAN by expanding our audience, preserving our historic facility and reducing our operating expenses.

First, we promised to renovate the second floor as a professionally equipped cinema room, allowing us to expand programs and introduce new patrons of all ages to TCAN. We did it – and in just two years, movie attendance has exceeded 11,000 and thousands have used the space for public and private events of all kinds.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES Finally, we committed to “burn the mortgage” and retire the construction debt remaining from the original firehouse renovation in 2002. This will save TCAN thousands of dollars in interest payments and eliminate an annual operating expense of $40,000.

We are less than $300,000 away from achieving all three of these transformative goals, and feeling more confident than ever in TCAN’s future. Help us finish strong!

Visit natickarts.org/capitalcampaign to learn more.

Thank you for your generous support!

Second, we committed to create a Building Fund to insure the preservation of our unique and historic firehouse. Our goal was to address some badly needed building repairs and create a $100,000 reserve fund that would allow TCAN to maintain our David Lavalley, Lavalley, 150-year-old building into the future without Executive Director putting arts programs or the organization in financial jeopardy.

Grammy Award-winning drummer, Grammy-nominated composer, percussionist, author, and educator Mark Walker is a world-renowned musician and professor of percussion at Berklee College of Music. With his debut album as a leader, “You Get What You Give” (featuring Paquito D’Rivera), he steps into the spotlight and presents an invigorating program of original jazz compositions and standards arranged in funky, soulful and authentic Afro-Latin rhythms. The band will include many of the same players on the record, like Alain Mallet, Mike Tucker, Ernesto Diaz and Oscar Stagnaro.
