"Move It, Baby!" Campaign Is On

    Since our property is now in escrow, we estimate our move will need to happen mid to late June. This is right during months when our income has traditionally slumped. The extra expenses of moving and paying deposits for the new place will be extra challenging

UNLESS . . .

         a bunch of people collaborate with us in the"Move It, Baby!" campaign.     

     No heavy lifting required! Just pledge whatever you can for the months of May, June, July and August. Help pay for the truck, the gas, first & last month rent deposit, and miscellaneous stuff that will hit us in the face during that time.

Three Ways to Help in the Campaign:

• Click the house at right to make a one-time contribution, or write a check to Horizon Gate Productions and send it to P.O.Box 2186, Julian, CA 92036 
• Make a monthly pledge for May through August via conventional check, or online
• Purchase $30 worth of Shaklee products and get FREE membership (a $19.95 value including a 15% discount on future purchases). We will send you a list of store products most people already buy from which you could switch.

     Leave a comment here and tell us which way you want to participate. Help minimize the down time of this move and get us all hooked up again so we don't have to skip a beat in our mission. Then you can come to our house blessing party (to be announced) knowing a piece of you is in this big move.

Artists to Give 5 Minute Presentations

     The Artist Support Group held its first meeting at St. Paul's Cathedral, downtown San Diego, April 3^rd.  More writers, performers and visual artists showed up than expected and all were enthusiastic about the potential benefits of the group.  

     After introductions the discussion touched upon the needs of artists, how we could help each other and what the group might sponsor. Two modes of help were proposed:  

1.) Regular meetings for networking, information and how-to helps.

      Next meeting will be May 15^thdevoted to getting to know one another. Artists are invited to give a 5 minute (max) presentation of themselves. The number of presentations will be limited to about 10. Please send Mark a synopsis of your presentation if you are interested in presenting (markarturner (at) gmail.com) . The meeting will be in the Guild Room of St. Paul's starting about 12:15pm. Bring a lunch.

2.) In-between meetings interaction online and getting together personally.

      Discussions have been started on the Facebook page for Cathedral Center for the Performing and Visual Arts ( http://on.fb.me/centerarts ). The topics are "Galleries to Show In", "Films Recommended by Artists", and "Books for Artists".  Please go "like" the page and participate in the discussions. You can even start new topics.

     Mark's drawing of a construction worker guiding the placement of a steel beam is superimposed over another drawing in progress of a skyscraper under construction. When the drawing is complete there will be two skyscrapers. The drawings are part of a sequence to be culminated by the launch of the Space Shuttle. This is the second-to-last visual sequence in the film aiming for a release date in July.
