    INTRODUCTION
    
    Love 
    Canal 50th 
    Anniversary Project
 
    Sites Across America
    
    A number 
    of Demonstration Methodological Sites will produce a best practices online 
    workbook for communities 
    experiencing any sort of disaster or trauma to follow 
    and an evolving online presence will be developed
    along with accompanying documentation of community efforts 
    and related contacts. 
    
    A CultureCures 
    manual for communities to utilize the arts to rapidily respond to all kinds 
    of trauma incidents 
    will evolve to facilitate replication and provide a quick response for recovery 
    and healing.
    
    Numerous recent research 
    findings have found that the arts produce healing, 
    promote recovery and impact individual/community well-being.
    
    We believe that future economic research will demonstrate that the cost savings 
    to health care 
    may possible prove to be even greater than the arts sectors impact [ROI=10-16X].

1978 — PRESENT
Everything is two things that converge.
This range of convergence is really the great area of speculation.
