The Original Proposal: The project as approved was a series of six literary programs combine with series of activities during Hispanic Heritage Month, interned to broaden the offering of Miami Beach's Second Thursdays" arts showcase by MBHCC's Coral Rock House at 1701 Normandy Drive to host a series of Second Thursday literary events. The series will focus on author and poets who focus on theme of interest to the Hispanic community in South Florida, and to those with an interest in Hispanic culture. Most writer will live in South Florida or spend considerable time here. This series will broaden the Second Thursdays audience in three ways: 1). By offering a venue in the North BeachINormandy Isles community. 2). By utilizing the Coral Rock House as a well designed setting which is conductive of literary reading and to interaction between an author or artist and the audience. 3). By focusing on Miami-Dade and South Florida authors with Latin American Theme who will appeal to a large and growing Hispanic constituency in Miami Beach and in nearby communities. As originally proposed, the six programs would have included selections form a somewhat longer list of options: authors of general topics, storyteller, poet both with local, county, state and national reputation. At the time of the original proposal, final selections had not been made. Proposed Revision: After the national tragedy of September 11 th we were forced to down scale all our activities scheduled for the months of October, November and December. During October we presented Graphic Artist Raymond Gem and moved the presentation of national recognized author Roberto Suro to month of November. Writers have been and continue to be scheduled for the months of January, February, March, April, May, June, July and August bring the total of presentations during program year 2001-002 to ten from the original six proposed. We have and will continue to extensive get publicity for the series both with Spanish and mainstream media, all promotional materials are printed in Spanish and English, and would appreciate the opportunity to coordinate publicity with efforts made by the Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council to publicize the entire Second Thursday series. . .
