June 2010
Dear ecARTS Supporter:
El Camino High School, located in the San Juan Unified School District, is proud of its strong and vibrant programs in the visual and performing arts. With a student body of 1800, over half are regularly enrolled in beginning through advanced courses in the arts. History, theory, and technique, as well as performances and exhibitions, are fundamental to the arts at El Camino. Many students go on to study the arts in college and pursue careers in their discipline.
Unfortunately, the El Camino campus has no designated facilities for showcasing the talents of its students and the visual and performing arts programs are forced to use gyms and the cafeteria that are inadequate in terms of size and acoustics, or rent outside facilities at considerable expense.
In 2008, a group of committed parents, students and alumni, known as ecARTS was established with the mission to build a 600 seat performing arts center and art gallery on the campus of El Camino High School. Under the direction of the San Juan Unified School District, ecARTS is moving forward with fundraising efforts to make this dream a reality. The completion of this state-of-the-art facility will not only benefit El Camino High School, but will serve as a performing and visual arts venue for all students in the San Juan Unified School District and the community-at-large.
ecARTS invites you to become a member of our Founders Club with a donation of $1,000 or more. This campaign will run through December 31, 2010 with the need to raise $100,000. Founders Club money will be used for conceptual drawings and an environmental study of the proposed site. All contributors to the Founders Club will be recognized by name on a permanent display to be placed in the lobby of the new arts facility. All donations are tax deductible.
We sincerely hope you will join us in this project and have a direct effect on the education of our youth, inspire their talents, and enrich their lives through the arts.
Sincerely,
Kevin Glaser

The ecARTS Mission
Our mission is to build a 600-seat state-of-the-art performing arts center and gallery on the campus of El Camino High School in Sacramento, CA.
Since the spring of 2008, a group of committed parents, known as the ecARTS Committee, has been meeting to discuss ideas about this facility that would best serve the needs of ECHS and the surrounding community, where that facility would best fit on the EC campus, and how to see the project through to its completion.
