An invitation to become Partners in Profits

Join with our Foundation for the Arts and the City of Westminster in staging the 2nd annual Great Westminster Cookie Conclave on September 21, 1996 at the Civic Center. This family festival is based on the theme of the "Cookie" and appeals to adults and children as wholesome family fun.

The Cookie Conclave is designed to allow a variety of non-profit agencies throughout the community to raise funds by staffing a booth at this one day event. The event is being held to accomplish the following goals:

• Raise funds for local PTAs, Police Explorer Scouts, La Quinta Boys Club, Westminster High Athletic Boosters, Boys & Girls Club, Nicholson Pipes & Drums, Westminster Chorale, 400 voice Westminster Youth Chorus, Repertory Theatre Westminster, Men's Barbershop Harmony Chorus, and many more non-profit local service and arts agencies
• Promote cultural harmony through the universal language of the arts by presenting a variety of ethnic performing arts groups

Furthermore, you will become a partner in securing a more subtle form of profit --- your support will ensure the enduring profit of promoting cultural arts in our community and enhancing the quality of life for all Westminster residents.

Please take a look at our wish list and choose the unique way in which you or your organization can become Partners in Profits with Westminster's cultural community.
