Christi Arts Council (Arts Council), and the City of Corpus Christi,
acting through its Senior Community Services Center (Senior Services),
agree to jointly sponsor a Senior Citizens Market Place project, known
as "The Porch," according to the following provisions:
1. Project Description: The project will provide a craft outlet
where handicrafts and other goods owned and made by senior citizens may
be sold on consignment. It is envisioned that this project will provide
senior citizens with'a meaningful, productive activity as well as provide
supplemental incomes and second careers. It will encourage the appre-
ciation and perpetuation of heritage handicraft skills and foster a
positive image of the older adult as a gifted, contributing member of
the community. In addition, a skills registry will be maintained and
thus enable senior citizens with expertise and marketable skills to be
available for other projects in the community; likewise, it is envis-
ioned that such registry will serve to preserve knowledge with respect
to certain older crafts and skills which might otherwise be lost to the
passage of time.
