Flora Macdonald Legacy Foundation
Announces Apprenticeship Programs

Joan McManus Barnes and Michelle Odum Black announced this past Tuesday that the Flora Macdonald Legacy Foundation is creating two apprentice programs in association with the Flora Macdonald Ball. Thirteen students will be chosen by the Apprentice Committee to be involved in the project. Those chosen will serve as Administrative Apprentices and/or Dance Apprentices.  Criteria for selection will include: a commitment to the mission of the ball and the foundation, interest in learning more about the administrative and creative aspects of producing a ball, and a desire to learn more about the rich history of the Cape Fear Region.

A short paragraph including an explanation of interest and a description of the talents and skills one might bring to the program will be required with the application.  No previous experience is required, and applicants may offer involvement with one or both programs.

Those interested in learning more about the Apprentice Programs should contact Joan McManus Barnes and Michelle Odum Black to request an application form at macdonaldball@aol.com. At present, the program is open to High School students; however, if there is enough interest on behalf of students and parenets we may also create a program for those in Junior High.
