From the lack of response to our membership renewal letter,
apparently some do not grasp “The Gift” my wife Mary,
Frank Starchak and I have been giving to the community
for the past five years.
Serving as president, janitor, maintenance man,
graphic designer, carpenter, lawn man and PR director
I receive no financial compensation.
Award winning music producer Frank Starchak
practically gives his extraordinary talents away
to members for only $30 per hour with a portion
going to the arts center. I challenge anyone to
find such expertise, service and far below market
rates at any other professional recording studio.
And still, some grumble regarding the fee.
My wife Mary serves as director of operations
continually adding various classes, concerts,
art exhibits and activities. We also house
Deltona's History Museum. Though we receive
occasional grants, Deltona Arts & Historical Center
does NOT receive ongoing operational funds
from the city, county or state.
Because of the sacrifices and dedication of Mary,
Frank and myself, the center exists for the community.
Your membership fee is sorely needed for utilities, mortgage & etc.
Cordially,
Lloyd Marcus, President
The Arts Center has changed its renewal policy for everyone to the month of OCTOBER. Please write your check for $25.00 and mail to: DA&HC, 682 Deltona Blvd, Deltona FL 32725, before you forget.
