Please help my ride to support the Cultural Center of Cape Cod. After a lengthy hiatus brought on by the COVID pandemic, Kim and I are back at the Center - she's making jewelry and teaching classes as Artist in Residence at her Metal & Beads metal clay studio, located on the second-floor of the education wing, while I work at events and functions from time to time. And the two of us are very excited to be teaming up to again offer our popular cooking and language classes, with plans to lead art and language trips to Europe in the coming years upon my retirement from teaching! Riding for the Cultural Center of Cape Cod allows me to help provide funding for the Center's many classes, workshops, cultural programming and mentoring to at-risk youth and young adults. More than 25,000 Cape residents take part in Center programs, and with your help we can continue to grow participation and expand the reach of this gem of a Cape Cod institution. Thank you in advance for any support you can provide!
