SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Cultural Council (SCC) will hold its annual community input meeting tomorrow at the Southwick Town Hall at 7 p.m.
SCC member Ellen Miles said the annual meeting is a great opportunity for feedback on events.
“This is for anyone interested in the activities of the Council,” she said.
The SCC hosts events throughout the year, including its annual juried art show and Southwick On Stage live theatrical performances.
Miles said the group, which currently includes eight members, is always seeking new programs and the community input meeting is the perfect venue for people to pitch their ideas.
“We will listen to any new ideas for projects and programs and talk about existing ones,” she said.
The Southwick Cultural Council (SCC) is an all-volunteer local partner of the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), a state agency and is funded in part by the MCC and Town of Southwick. The SCC is devoted to bringing engaging, entertaining, and educational events to the children and adults from Southwick and surrounding communities.
