The budget workshop allowed the council to work its way down a list of budget items and hear from department heads why each felt the requested items were necessary. City Manager Gary Price said the list had been compiled after he had already cut some items requested. Price said the items on the list stand out as particularly expensive or as items the council members might have questions about. The intent Wednesday was more for the council members to be informed about the items for later decision making than for them to decide on cuts at that time. Spokesmen for the organizations explained to the council why they felt Sanibel should donate $1,000 to the Coalition for a Drug Free Lee County and $4,000 for the Community Coordinating Council. Price pointed out to the council that $8,000 is bud- geted for the 1995 Fourth of July fireworks.

Credit cards are accepted. My next near association with Jerry Herman was when he called me to stage a new night club revue with Dody Goodman called "Parade." I had just began teaching classes at Carnegie Hall and time seemed at such a premium. The monies involved in staging "Parade" were not substantial and I felt I had to turn it down in order to concentrate on my teach- ing. This may have been a costly career decision as "Parade" was a gigantic hit and I was never again approached by Herman for any choreographic or staging assignment. Next week: My meeting with ballerina Viola Essen who launched my teaching career in a small studio on the sixth floor of Carnegie Hall.
