…there are a lot of groups and ppl who have played and are still playing a significant part in the cultural aspect of the country that did not get grants this year. And because of this this they’ve had to cancel events and or shut down, because nowadays personal fundraisers are not supported as much.

For those who think that they don’t try to raise their own funds well thats not entirely true. Most of these organizations want to present and impliment nothing but the best performances and displays for the country and sometimes they do need just that little extra to create the vision in its entirety so that the public isn’t getting a 6 for a 9 knowing that the funds derive from the country.

I’ve never heard of any of these organizations besides Chewstick and from what i know of chewstick they’ve come a long way providing avenues and opportunities for a lot young and old performing artists, amongst other things, creating this entity out of their own pockets for the longest while.

In anycase…all the best to all of you and i can only hope that you’ll continue on striving to have a great impact culturally on the people of Bermuda. It may even be a good idea for someone of you to merge or partner with groups that are of the same essence. Untiy is strength….

It’s the other side of the coin handing out taxpayer dollars now. so its okay. Let these peole raise their own funds. It is called life. I put myself through college, paid for my own car, house everything – never needed a hand out from anyone. Tired of the this big government tit for everyone to suck off of…here and in the US..more people on the wagon and less people pulling it means disaster.

SMALL GOVERNMENT = ECONOMIC GROWTH Keynsian Economic policies have failed.

Seriously folks study the list – apert from the free camp for the kids this is all a farce…here is my favorite – The Chewstick Foundation – Najib Chentouf to support Chewstick programs and the Chewstick Cultural Facility – what the hell does that mean exactly?…we are paying money to Najib Chantouf to do what? What exactly does his “support” entail?

Congrats to all.
Not a penny given to the Giant Steps Group with the legendary Tootsie Bean going to Cuba to represent us and returning to establish a youth Footsteps Band. Awful. Not good at all because they have been so busy in 2012 and deserved some recognition.
Even a thousand dollars would have helped them and a few others who were overlooked.
