        Now is the time to win a $2.7 million MCC increase!


        Dear Friends,


        The House and Senate Joint Conference is meeting this week to decide

final appropriations for FY 07 which begins July 1. 


        We have three line item appropriations that are subject to 
negotiation between the House and the Senate.  Here are the line items and
our requested 
funding levels which would bring the MCC total state funding to $12.05 
million: 


          a.. John and Abigail Adams Arts Program (0640-0351) $2 million,

          b.. $700,000 earmark for the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) 
that is contained in line item 7007-0900, 

          c.. and funding of $8.65 million for the main MCC line item, 
0640-0300 - a level recommended by both the House and Senate.

        Click on the link below to send to urge the conferees to support
this 
vital funding.
