AMACO Aids World Trade Center/Pentagon Disaster Relief -- The American Art Clay Co., Inc., the exclusive importer of FIMO polymer clay in the U.S. and manufacturer of the popular modeling material, Friendly Plastic, has made a pledge of assistance to help those affected by the World Trade Center/Pentagon tragedies.
In addition to annual contributions to national organizations including the United Way, AMACO will make a special corporate donation to the American Red Cross equal to 50% of the company's profits from the sales of Red, White, and Blue FIMO and Friendly Plastic through Dec. 31, 2001. Customers gave the company the idea by calling and telling about all the ways consumers were using these products to make patriotic pieces to sell in fundraisers. AMACO hopes this flurry of sales will result in a sizable donation on their part.
Museums Reached Out -- Following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, eleven New York museums and several galleries offered themselves as "sanctuaries of respite and contemplation " to the public, free of charge. In addition, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan organized a series of noontime concerts in the Medieval Sculpture Hall that continued through Oct. 7. The "Sounds of Solace: Music for Reflection, Inspiration and Hope" were free with Museum admission and open to the public. They also organized a special poetry reading series through Oct. 7 entitled "Poetry for the Human Spirit," where works by Dylan Thomas, Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman and others were read.
