Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail the revisions to the project based upon the award. Please be as specific as possible; name of event, avenue, time, etc. Also, detail the organization's participation In Second Thursdays. Miami Beach Anchor should list specifics about their mentoring program. The original Proposal: The project as approved was the programming of the Hispanic Heritage Month with the overlap for the month October's Second Thursday literary series. During the Month we will showcase writers, artists whose work can be presented and appreciated in the setting of the Coral Rock House. As part of the same programming a participant of our Senior Aides Program will stage a show of landscape painting during Hispanic Heritage Month. This will be followed by a mural presentation by our participants of our youth program. For our Second Thursday project we have planned to combine our literary offering with opportunities for presentations by Miami Beach artists whose media can be presented well, ideally with audience interaction, at the Coral Rock House. The schedule for Second Thursdays included the aforementioned presentation of Isabel Allende in October, Dr. Miguel Frias in November, and will resume after the holidays in February, April, May and July-six second Thursday presentations. Having three of these to be presentations by Hispanic authors, and other three to be presentations by Miami Beach and artistic groups. Proposed Revision: The funds awarded $5, 500.00 forces us to down scale the literary presentations. We can longer secure international renowned writers like: Isabel Allende and Delia Fiallo. We are going to Focus on local writers and artists. We plan to offer the programming during Hispanic Heritage Month as follows: Painting exhibit by artists from the local senior community Painting exhibit by artists from our youth program Second Thursday presentation for the month of October is by Argentinean Novelist Domino Tournament (Folkloric Event) The literary presentations schedule for the coming months are February 13, April 10, September 11, 2002. 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 we would appreciate the opportunity to coordinate publicity with efforts by the Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council to publicize the entire Second Thursday series.
