F ifteen children starred in Arts in Bartlett’s first-ever fashion show on Sun-day, April 26 at the Oak Room in the Bartlett Park District Community Cen-ter. Two to 10 year olds modeled fashions from local designers who are rep-resented in the Lemon Loves Lime lines and fashions from Wave Kids and Carson’s in Stratford Square mall in Bloomingdale. Thanks to all those who bought tickets and ads in the program book and do-nated raffle prizes. More than $1,200 profit will go toward more improve-ments to the Bartlett Arts Center at 215 S. Main Street in Town Center. Pro-jects include expanding the performance space and creating a sound barrier between the community room and the rest of the center. Plans also are to start a Bartlett Children’s Choir this summer. Photos by Masterworks Photography

Letter from the President

Happy Month of May, We hope you enjoy this issue with photos of our first children’s fashion show, Project Runway, on April 26th. We are full speed ahead with necessary fundraising, and count on you to come to these fun and unique events to support the arts in your community. Please put Monday, May 18 in your calendars for our next Dine Out event, a return to Bartlett’s wonderful TL’s Four Seasons Chinese/Japanese Res-taurant. The owner will donate a portion of your check to Arts in Bartlett. You can also buy gift cards, which will count those toward your total. It was our most suc-cessful fundraiser last year, so we want to repeat the experience! Invite your friends and family to join that day, either for lunch or dinner. We will continue monthly Dine Out specials at various restaurants, so look for details in our newsletters and email updates. Our special $5 Friday night event at our Arts Center on June 19, in recognition of our “Day Dream-ing: Abstract Art” exhibit, includes a jazz performer and refreshments. We are also planning another Fox Valley Repertory Theatre show at Pheasant Run Resort, to see “Maybe Baby It’s You,” a comedy on Sep-tember 25. Save the date in your calendars. These are all fun ways to raise money for your local arts coun-cil. Please continue to support us with your membership and invite new individuals, organizations and businesses to join. It is this grassroots advocacy that grows the arts! Remember that for the first time in our 13-year history, we will be raising dues by $5 for most categories starting July 1. You can join on line at the Join Us page on artsinbartlett.org. Enhancing the cultural arts in Bartlett is so important to enrich the lives of its residents. We really need our membership’s input and brainstorming on fundraising, sponsorships, mem-bership drives, programming and more. All Arts in Bartlett members are invited to come to the next Board meeting on May 18 at 6:00pm in the Bartlett Arts Center, 215 S Main, and to go out with us to dinner at TL’s. We hope that you will support our mission to bring more arts to Bartlett, volunteer to join a commit-tee, attend our events, and spread the news about Arts in Bartlett, a vibrant arts council! Thanks!

Corporate Member Profile

W hen Arts in Bartlett moved into 215 S. Main Street in October 2014, the unit in Town Center had been vacant for several years and ownership of the center had changed hands. There was little reliable in-formation on the impact of today’s utility expenses to base a budget on. Therefore, when Arts in Bartlett received its first $800 electric bill during the brutal winter of 2014-15. It was a shock. How could we heat this 2,750 space more economically? Leaders of Arts in Bartlett active in the community had met Jenel Marunde-Zafer, owner of Torus Energy Company, a consulting firm, at various events and quickly turned to her for advice. We soon agreed on a plan with an alternate energy supplier that, coupled with warmer weather, reduced our monthly bill by more than half. She concluded that our current high efficiency light-ing was on the right track, but to remember that lights account for one-third of most electric bills, so we became more mindful of turning off lights when not in a room. We were even more grateful when Jenel said she wanted to be part of Arts in Bartlett as a corporate mem-ber and help us seek out grants and other ways to raise money. About Jenel Marunde-Zafer Jenel Marunde-Zafer has an extensive background in international business consulting. At a young age she managed multi-million dollar accounts for numerous Fortune 500 companies. She was integral in coordinat-ing product launches and marketing campaigns for these companies.
