Re: Performing Arts Center Public Meeting
Myrtle Beach City Council
Performing Arts Center Public Meeting
6:00 p.m., Monday, July 11, 2011
Rooms 206-208, Myrtle Beach Convention Center
How do you feel about adding a performing arts center to the Myrtle Beach Convention
Center? That’s the subject of a public meeting at 6:00 p.m., Monday, July 11, in Rooms 206-
208 at the Convention Center. City Council is hosting the meeting to hear from the public, prior
to any decision about a winter referendum on possible funding for such a project.
Plans are in place – but not the financing – for the performing arts center at the Convention
Center. As proposed, the facility would include an 800-plus seat theatre, a “black box”
performance space, a rehearsal hall, lobby art gallery, dual dressing rooms, back-of-house
scenery and construction space, restrooms, concessions area and box office. The public is
invited to comment at 6:00 p.m., Monday.
City Council recently has considered the possibility of a winter referendum on funding for
such a performing arts center. If Council ultimately schedules a referendum, voters likely would
be asked whether they favor raising property tax rates by approximately three mills to repay up
to $10 million in bonds to build a performing arts center. For an owner-occupied home with an
assessed value of $200,000, a three mill increase would be an additional $24 per year.

You'll NEVER look at a Wal Mart greeter the same!
WAL-MART SENIOR GREETER

You just have to appreciate this one. Young people forget that we old people had a career before we retired......
Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.
One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.
"Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."
"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear.”
“Yes sir, I understand your concern and I’ll try harder.”
Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, “It's odd though your coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning so late and so often?"
The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled.
He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin, "They usually saluted and said, ‘Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?’”
Happy 4th of July everyone and thank you to all of you that have made sacrifices in the past and to those who make sacrifices today by serving our country so that we can live in the greatest country on the face of this earth.
