My fellow colleagues,

                        Recently our Cultural and "Heritage" Commission here
in Salem County New Jersey decided to not give funding to History groups and
all their monies went to the arts. This has been a seven year battle and the
group I volunteer with were the last of the history groups to receive
funding. Last year with the same grant proposal they received $3200 of
approximately $10,000 a year spending plan, so they are not a big group.I
requested the critiques from this years grant and have a question I want to
put out to you all.

Here it is: The critique said are they actors or reenactors?

 

I looked up in the dictionary  the definitions of these words and they are
as follows:

Actor- someone who acts out a part on stage, Broadway, or anywhere for
public entertainment

Reenactor-someone who acts out a part from history's past or a period

 

I have used actor as opposed to reneactor because the group is seeking for
art grants, to me they are the same

Your comments both ways are greatly appreciated and will be shared with the
commission unless you decide otherwise

Thanks 

Jim
