MAC Looks Back At Successful ’83

CAPE MAY - Just 13 years old, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts recently issued its first formal an nual report, which indicates that it is very much a going concern Not only did MAC finance a wide variety of activities for a total over 1237,000 this year, the organization finished with $34,500 in working funds available on

Oct. 12

What is more surprising, MAC has carried on its work without relying on funds from the federal, state, or local

governments

MAC was formed in October, 1970, to rescue the Emlen Physick Estate from demolition Through MACs efforts, the City of Cape May was able to pur chase the estate at no ex-

pense to itself.

BECAUSE OF the laws governing the grants involved, the city had to take title. MAC provided all the matching funds from bonds and monies raised by its efforts The rest of the purchase price came from government grants The city paid none of the pur-

chase price.

Since acquisition of the estate, MAC, operating under a 50-year, $1 a year lease from the city, has restored and refurnished the Physick Cottage, and

restored the I

grounds

; buildings and

To date over $750,000 of the funds raised by MAC r activities have been invested in the restoration work. In addition, thousands of hours of volunteer labor by MAC members and neighbors have been invested in the restoration Its objectives, as stated in MAC’S charter, were to develop the estate as a community center and provide cultural activities for the enjoyment and benefit of the community. FOR MOST of its ex istence, MAC’S efforts have been centered on restoration of the Physick Estate. Now, with the Physick House a recognized museum of Victoriana, the group has turned more heavily to cultural objectives. MAC has sponsored music and dance concerts for several years. The outdoor stage on the estate was completed in 1982 and inaugurated with a performing arts festival that

a children’s section in the new Cape May City library. MAC has played a promi nent role in extending the normal tourist season from the traditional summer-months-only to a yearround attraction for visitors. Victorian Weekend's Victorian Fair in May were developed to achieve that objective. IT IS POINTED out that only 3 percent of MAC’S total revenues comes from membership dues and donations, with 97 percent derived from its activities. Excess funds from some activities are used to subsidize other programs and for direct contributions to the community. The past year was one of solid growth and achievement for MAC, including financially. Regular activities were expanded and improved. These included the Christinas Candlelight Tour (Jan. 1, 1983); Quilt and Decoy Show (May); publication of This Week in Cape May; an increased schedule for the walking tours; Film Festival; showings of the Capers film, a joint program with the city; the Performaing Arts Festival (11 programs in August); the Halloween festivities, and the Victorian Weekend, which attracted 8,000 visitors. The regular tours, estate, trolley, walking Mansions by Gaslight and Cottages by Twilight, attracted nearly 50,000 visitors through Oct. 15. Special tours for groups introduced another 5.000 people to the city’s attractions. MANY OF MAC’S activities are deigned for the enjoyment and benefit of its neighbors in Cape May. The MAC trolley and members worked in the move of the library to its new quarters. Arbor Day ceremonies were held in 1983 on the Physick Estate as a joint project of the public schools, the Shade Tree Commission and

MAC.

The Chamber of ComHeads Frat OCEAN CITY - Lester Leroy Lippincott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester L. Lippincott Jr., 18 Wesley Ave., has been elected president of Sigma Alpha Chi at Bob Jones University, Greenville, S.C., where he a senior in the School of • Business Administration.

Bond Issue

Supported

CREST HAVEN - The county Chamber of Commerce has supported and endorsed the NJ. Shore Bond issue and urges all county voters to support this referendum question

on the Nov. 8 ballot

This $50 million shore protection bond issue is vital to our area, the chamber insists, and approval by state voters will help insure beach replenishment and erosion

control programs

"Chamber Officials have worked hard to get this issue approved by the New Jersey Legislature and on the ballot Now we need the support of each and every voter.” said Ted Homan,

chamber president

merce held its annual Easter Egg hunt on the estate grounds. With the Art League, MAC sponsored the Ethnic Folklife Festival on the estate in June. Winter excursions on the MAC trolley-bus are conducted to ballet and theater performances. The trolley also takes part in special activities, including the baby and Christmas parades. Of the $237,000 expended by MAC so far in 1983, $205,000 has been paid into the Cape May community for services and products obtained in the community. Royalties on plays and film rentals as well as subscriptions which had to be paid outside the area totaled $3,000. MAC paid $104,000 to persons and groups for personal services, of which $8,500 was for professional performers and groups brought in from outside the Cape May area, and $95,500 was paid to people and groups in the community. THE BULK of the group's income, $133,600, came from the tours this year, according to the report. Proceeds from special events amounted to $72,400. The Mid-Atlantic Stage (summer theater) brought in $17,100, but stage expenses were $33,100. Memberships and donations accounted for $7,500 and publications $9,800. TTie directors, officers and volunteers are not paid

for their activities for MAC, says Herbert M. Beitel, president: •‘Theirs is a labor of love and dedication to the community." In 1984, MAC plans to continue the summer theater with a different format and a broader base. Negotiations are going on with the Coast Guard to obtain a lease of the Cape May Point Lighthouse. Plans are to make its viewavailable to visitors as well as (in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce) a memorial to lost seamen.
