CUPCAKES FOR THE
CAUSE!
Help celebrate our 30 years of keeping
Missouri in a creative state of mind...when
you check in on February 10, we'll have
individually boxed cupcakes available for
$5 each. Consider purchasing one for each
of your area legislators and delivering
them as a way of saying thanks for their
support of the arts. Each cupcake will include
a message about the importance of the arts
to our state and information about MCA.
HAVE LUNCH WITH
YOUR LEGISLATOR
MCA also encourages you to
consider hosting a luncheon in your Senator’s
office (which provide more space). Invite
area legislators to join you and
your colleagues for lunch. Because of committee
hearings and lengthy floor
debate, it is difficult for legislators
to leave the Capitol. So, we suggest
taking lunch to them! Many area restaurants
cater luncheons in the Capitol
and will deliver.
1) Contact your Senator and
ask if you can bring lunch in for him/her
and their staff.
2) Explain it is Citizens’ Day at
the Legislature and you would like to
visit with him/her while enjoying lunch.
3) Invite other legislators and arts advocates
from your region.
4) Contact a caterer in Jefferson City to
provide lunch at the Capitol.
Listed below are some suggested contacts
who regularly cater at the
Capitol.
Madison’s (pasta &
salads) (573) 634-2988
