12. Project Narrative - Provide a narrative description of the proposed project. %Vho is going to do
what, for whom, when, where, and why. Be clear and concise. The City of Tamarac is proposing a
coordinated cultural arts program, which includes classes in the disciplines of dance and theatre arts and exposure
through special workshops to a number of diverse cultures. This is an expansion of the previous nvo years Cultural Arts
program funded by CAE. Many of our participants are repeat participants and are ready for exposure to different
cultures and the next level of instruction to incorporate these lessons into their performances.
We are targeting four groups for class participation; youth age 6-10, teen age 11-17, seniors and special populations
age 16 and up. The City has access to each of these groups through such activities as youth and after school
programs, teen club and related activities, senior programs and trips and the Special Olympic Bulldog Program.
Many segments of our population lack the necessary resources such as transportation, finances and opportunity to
afford them the opportunity for cultural experiences. The first year of this program in FY 2000 has shown that it
can make the cultural experience accessible and comfortable for a broad user group. The City of Tamarac would
like to build upon the positive opportunities formed in the first two years of the program. This year's project will
open the avenue for more people to be introduced to different cultures and the means of individual expression with
the assistance of professional artists.
Class instruction will be provided by the White Willis Theatre, Inc., a multi ethnic, multi racial theatre company,
based in Tamarac and known for its presentation of contemporary drama, comedies and large-scale musicals. They
also offer a yearly series of Arts in Education Programs, Children's Programs and other outreach activities for all
ages. Specialized artists for the workshops and evening performances include Harmonic Motion, Drums of
Polynesia and Mantra.
Classes will be offered in three eight -week sessions. Session 1 will be October 16 — mid December. Session 2 will
be January 15 — mid March. Session 3 will be April 2 — mid June. The classes will be offered at times to be most
advantageous for the targeted groups; days for seniors, after school or evenings for youth and teens and Saturdays
for special populations. One of the eight -week sessions will be a special workshop by the special artist groups. The
classes will be held in City of Tamarac Recreation Facilities at 7501 N. University Dr. and 8601 W. Commercial
Blvd.
The special artists will also perform in the evening for the public, incorporating aspects of the skills introduced in
the workshops in interactive segments with the class participants in the audience. This will be advertised as our
Family Cultural Series. We will encourage the Middle Schools, Elementary School and Afterschool program to
utilize these cultural themes to develop a context for the participants and reinforce the instruction of the special
artists. The Senior Program will build on the cultural theme with additional day sessions in cooking, travelogues,
arts & crafts, native dress and costumes and other cultural aspects.
The last piece of the project will be a public exhibition/performance by each of the participants at the end of the project.
We will invite each participants family members as well as advertising them to the general public. The
exhibition/performances will promote the Parks and Recreation Department's "Celebrate Tamarac" theme and also the
project goal of providing cultural opportunities to the public. These events, activities and programs encourage our
community to gain recognition of the cultural diversity of its citizens and promote partnerships with community
organizations and businesses. The White Willis theatre, Inc. will provide the technical assistance for these
exhibitiori/performances, building on the skills participants have gained in the cultural arts classes.
The mission of the City of Tamarac Parks and Recreation Department is to offer access to recreational opportunities.
The definition of recreation has been broadened to include many avenues of community and individual exploration and
expression. In September of 2000 the City opened the doors of the new the Community Center, a center dedicated to
meeting the recreational needs of the 2 1 " century for the City of Tamarac. The CELEBRATE TAINLARAC campaign,
developed and implemented in FY 99, stresses the importance of involving the community in activities, programs and
events to foster community understanding and unity. Phase II of CELEBRATE TA:NLARAC in FY00 involved the
Parks and Recreation Department developing a more structured cultural program in response to the needs of the
community by providing greater access to the cultural arts, thereby allowing greater opportunity for sharing cultural
diversity and building community spirit. In FY01 the CELEBRATE TA_NIARAC initiative will build momentum by
adding diverse cultural exposure within the Cultural Arts educational program and events for the entire community.

13. Review Criteria - State how the proposed project(s) complies with the Review Criteria listed in the
CAE program guidelines (Cultural Merit, Community Outreach, and Project Administration). Be
clear and concise. Up to two (2) Pages Maximum.
Cultural Merit
This project will facilitate creative expression of the cultural diversity in the City of Tamarac. The participants will
be introduced to various cultural disciplines, which will teach them a new way to share personal experience, enjoy
life and expand understanding of our community. In addition, there will be a more intensive exposure to the Latin,
Middle Eastern and Polynesian cultures through workshops offered by special artists.
Our project is a partnership with the White Willis Theatre group, an established, highly qualified and respected
theatre company. This partnership allows the White Willis Theatre to enhance their community presence by
offering programs to local, underserved audiences. Tamarac is a City in transition. We reflect the rich cultural
diversity of South Florida. This intergenerational and multicultural project is an opportunity for the expression and
celebration of what Tamarac is. The outcomes will be increased exposure to the cultural arts at an introductory
level, increased involvement in community activities and an increase in community understanding of what Tamarac
is.
Many segments of our population are isolated from sharing cultural experiences by lack of transportation, financial
resources and opportunity. This project makes the cultural arts accessible and comfortable. Broward County has a
wide range of cultural offerings but many of our residents are unable to access the fine programs. This project will
give an introduction to the cultural arts from professional artists to many people who are presently underserved.
Community Outreach
The FY 99 and 00 cultural arts program offered through grants from Broward County have received very positive
feedback. Each target group: seniors, youth, teens and special populations still have unique situations, which create
barriers to cultural exposure. 'This project will provide for a positive partnership between government, private
sector and the community. The partnership will further the goals and objectives of the City, residents and the White
Willis Theatre.
The City has the resources to effectively market this project. The City publishes the Tam -A -Gram bi-monthly,
which contains information regarding City programs. The Tam -A -Gram is mailed directly to each household in the
City. The City also has a web page: www.tamarac.org, with current City information. The Parks and Recreation
Department publishes a monthly program brochures and flyers to announce all programs, events and activities. In
addition the City uses the local newspapers for purchasing advertising space, preparing public service
announcements, and having reporters write articles on programs and events. The Parks and Recreation Director and
the Recreation Superintendent have done presentations on programming at a large number of community
association meetings, with more on the horizon. Signage, including new marquees at major buildings is also used as
a means to alert the public to offerings.

B. What geographic area in Broward County does the organization serve? Are there any unique
populations in the organization=s service area? (e.g. at -risk, youth, the disadvantaged,
persons with disabilities, ethnic populations, elderly populations). Which of these
populations will your CAE project serve?
The City of Tamarac is in the northwestem area of Broward County. Tamarac has a population of over 50,000.
Our activities draw participation from the neighboring cities of Coral Springs, Lauderhill and North
Lauderdale.
The 60+ age group comprises more than 54% of our population. Many of our seniors are unable to travel on
their own and they can only participate in City programs due to our transportation program.
The youth population is growing. Tamarac Elementary School has been a critically overcrowded school for
several years. Overcrowding has its largest impact on the offering of nonacademic programs, including the
arts. The City of Tamarac has always provided aftercare and camp programs for the Tamarac Elementary
School students and community children. The City of Tamarac will have a new elementary school opening in
September 2001 with children from Tamarac, Lauderhill and Sunrise providing new populations for our CAE
project to serve. This population growth has resulted in an increase in ethnic diversity of our younger
community.

It'is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Joe Ze,-totmian.
I?uring the past fifteen years at Coral Springs High School, i have worked with Joe
in my roles as English teacher, Media Specialist, class sponsor, and School
Improvement Team chairperson. Joe has been a great asset to our school as a
substitute teacher as well as a resource for our multicultural program. His musical
performances at the school have inspired students and opened their eves to diverse
expressions in music. While young; people in southeast Florida often have the
opportunity to experience Caribbean and Hispanic cultures, Joe's work allows them
to share in the traditions of Middle Eastern. Armenian, and North African dance
and music. Additionally, Joe's unique talents in both music and mathematics
demonstrate to the students the connection between academics and the arts.
Outside the classroom, Joe.has contributed greatly to the community through his
many concerts at colleges and universities, libraries, bookstores, and a variety of
theatrical venues. Joe has continually worked to expand the application of his
musical heritage and has impressed his audiences with his eclectic style, ranging
from performances with Middle Eastern dance and Flamenco to contemporary jazz.
I.am happy to recommend Joe Zeytoonian and to count him as my colleague and
friend.
Sincerely,
lr

Broward County Cultural Affairs Division
100 South Andrews Avenue
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
Dear Ms. Becht:
Attachment 3
The City of Tamarac is pleased to submit an application to the Broward County
Cultural Affairs Division Community Arts and Education Program for the amount of
$10,630.00.
The City of Tamarac is dedicated to providing quality parks and recreation programs
for those who live, work, or visit the area. In addition, we are committed to maximizing our
resources by obtaining public and private financing whenever possible to develop
recreational opportunities.
The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to continue the successful two-
year partnership with the White -Willis Theatre, Inc., a Tamarac -based professional theatre
group, to provide classes in the cultural arts and to assist in a major community
presentation/exhibition. The City supports the efforts of the White -Willis Theatre, Inc. We are
pleased with the ongoing partnership that has developed to better serve the community.
In addition to the classes taught by the White -Willis Theatre, Inc., the City of
Tamarac will contract with Drums of Polynesia, Mantra and Harmonic Motion to provide
special workshops and performances. Each group will offer a very specific cultural expertise
to our student groups and then present an evening performance to the public. These
workshops will provide introduction to cultural experiences in Latin, Polynesian and Middle
Eastern dance and music, broadening the culture exposure to our program participants.
The City of Tamarac will provide the required match of $10,630.00 through the
operating budget of the Parks and Recreation Department. The cultural arts program has
been a welcome addition to the roster of programs, activities and events offered by
Tamarac's fine Parks and Recreation Department.

"It's a great mixture of
music and people," says
Tamarac resident Cindy
Rios. "It's good to be with
People, meet new folks and
.dancing is terrific exercise."
"It's a good group of folks
who usually show up,"
agrees Lynn Pauly, also of
Tamarac. "It's much - more
preferable to sitting at home
watching TV or looking at
walls. It's a great way to get
out of the house and social-
i.ze."
Admission is free and
refreshments are provided
for those who come out to the
party. Just so long as you
enjoy dancing - like Murray

The City of Tamarac was incorporated in 1963. Originally settled as a retirement
community, our city has been growing and changing over the last several years.
Our resident base is getting both older (85+ age group most rapidly growing),
and younger (more families are moving in). Our city is also growing in its cultural
diversity as we are attracting more families from other countries and the islands.
A needs assessment conducted for our new community center showed that
residents wanted more classes, programs and special events. The desire to keep
a "community" feeling in Tamarac is also prevalent.
In FY99, we introduced the concept of CELEBRATE TAMARAC. This is an
expansion of our role to offer special events celebrating life in the City of
Tamarac. It includes recreational events highlighting partnerships with
community organizations, in addition to national observations and other means of
awareness, which serve to commemorate civic involvement and celebrate the
rich diversity in our community.
Three of our major special events are the Fourth of July, Tamarac Days and
Holiday Lighting. At these events, the Wind Symphony, Shazam and Bob
Gaffney were featured. The City of Tamarac has also continued its partnership
with the Tamarac Community Band by providing facilities while they have
performed at such City events as Veterans and Memorial Days. Through the
city's current Cultural Arts Program, a very positive partnership has been
continued with the White -Willis Theatre, Inc., to benefit the community. Trips
continue to be a focal point for our adults to enjoy the cultural offerings in the tri-
county area.
This proposal represents a continuing effort of the City of Tamarac Parks and
Recreation Department to plan, develop and implement an integrated cultural
program. We have developed a core through the first two years of this program
and expect it to continue to grow. The previous offerings have been under the
program areas of classes, trips and special events.
We will offer classes in two disciplines of the cultural arts to four groups: youth
teens, adults and special populations. These groups have been identified as
underserved.
Short term goals
• Enhance cultural arts opportunities through provision of additional classes.
• Allow opportunities for self-expression for individuals through the
application of skills learned in classes.
• Increase community awareness of the cultural arts in Tamarac through
public exhibitions/performances.
Attachment 8
Page 2 of 2
Lonq Term Goals
• Develop additional partnerships with community organizations and
businesses to offer and support training and performances in the arts.
• Develop community awareness and respect for the diversity that enriches
Tamarac.

Dear Ms. Becht,
It is with great anticipation that the City of Tamarac Parks and Recreation
Department submits an application to the Broward County Cultural Affairs
Division Community Arts and Education Program for the amount of $10,630,
matched by the City's $10,630, for a project total of $21,260.
The City of Tamarac continues to be committed to offering quality recreational
programs, activities and events to those who live, work or visit the area. We are
equally committed to working with local organizations to achieve this objective.
We are proud of the partnership that has been developed with the highly qualified
White Willis Theatre, Inc. and we are excited that this project will allow us to
continue that partnership in offering our underserved residents cultural
experiences.
The first and second years of this project added a new dimension to our
department at the doorstep of the new Millennium. To continue this momentum
will allow us to expose members of our community to experiences they may
otherwise never have the opportunity to see.
If you should have any questions, please call me at (954) 724-1340.
Sincerely,
Charlene Neva ski
