Day camps are already available in all flavors and locationsor are they? Certainly there is a need for an artsfocused day camp that encompasses and presents all the artsfrom music to pottery, the Brainstorming Committee at ARRAC (known as Brainers) decided. Last February we enthusiastically dove in to the planning process. Little did any of us know how things would turn out! We now have one week of Camp under our belt and aside from being tired, we have a wonderful feeling of having sown (and sewn) some great seeds into our inaugural group of Camp ARTumpka campers. Over the course of five days we presented opportunities to try to play the ukulele, learn to sew a yo-yo, paint a mural, design a t-shirt, make a clay percussion instrument, and tell a story with your hands while dancing. Parents and honored guests got to witness the closing presentation at our last day (see page 2), but we invite you to view the slide show on skydrive or check our Facebook page.

Sunday Special performers, Reborn Harmony nominated for Central Alabama Gospel Music Association
Reborn Harmony a band that performed at ARRACs recent Ways to Praise Sunday Special Concert Series, has been nominated for membership into the Central Alabama Gospel Music Association by the president Tim Stough. Tim heard Reborn Harmony when he attended their May performance at Frazer United Methodist Church on Spirit Night. Representatives from the band, Alan Mitchell (the bass player) and Dan Bass, ARRAC member, attended the CAGMA meeting last week where they were formally introduced to the CAGMA members. The band will perform July 3 before the committee and at that time, a formal vote of the CAGMA membership will be made. Membership in CAGMA consists of many varying styles of gospel music each unique. Reborn Harmony felt honored to be nominated and is looking forward to the performance next month. ARRAC is honored to have had the opportunity to spotlight Reborn Harmony at our Sunday Special, Ways to Praise and is grateful to have Dan Bass as an ARRAC member, active on our Brainer Committee.
Sunday Special 2
ARRACs second Sunday Special was well received by our loyal audience. Performing Sunday May 6 in the Wetumpka Performing Arts Center were: Laurie Harris on guitar; Home Remedy; Reborn Harmony; and Grace Point Praise Band of Grace Point Church in Wetumpka. Four groups brought their sound equipment and friends and family along with their abundant talent to the ARRAC fundraiser. This was a great opportunity to not only showcase many different types of gospel-praise music to the community, but it was a chance to fellowship with others and meet new friends.
Keep watching for our next Sunday Special Concert Series production. If your group would like to perform for these fundraising events, please contact Jerry McRay, Board member and Music Committee Coordinator at jwmcr7158@yahoo.com for more information. We are planning our next event for August.
