People will also speak in favor of the levy.<\/p>\n<p>The event is being organized by Mary Meeks and Michael Moss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about organizing it for about a year,\u201d Meeks said. \u201cI mentioned it to Michael. And he said &#8212; why don\u2019t we make it as part of the campaign for &#8212; and a fundraiser for the levy. I thought that was a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kBxWQrxSd0o\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Meeks is a DJ. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been DJing for about 15 years,\u201d Meeks said. \u201cI spin vinyl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Black Hat School of Rock will also be playing. Music, dance &#8212; and if you want to bowl, you are right there at the Berkeley Springs Bowlerama.<\/p>\n<p>Meeks and Moss have put up a Facebook events page &#8212; 24 people have already committed to being there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you ever seen a live vinyl DJ?\u201d their poster asks. \u201cDo you love music, dancing, and fun times with your friends? Would you like to help raise community awareness of the additional funding that\u2019s required to give you the best education possible, as well as to keep the sports, music, and art programs you love? Here\u2019s your chance to Support The Levy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moss is a 2013 graduate of Berkeley Springs High School.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview at Berkeley Springs State Park, Moss said that he\u2019s concerned that if the levy losses at the polls on May 13, programs that helped him make it through high school will be cut.<\/p>\n<p>Moss says that music programs at the school played a big part in his education. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t have the levy, a lot of programs will be cut,\u201d Moss said. \u201cWe won\u2019t have the AP (advanced placement) classes for those who want that or need that. Music programs will get cut. Athletics will get cut. If I didn\u2019t have music through the funding of the levy, I probably wouldn\u2019t have made it through school as easily as I did. It helped me every day.\u201d<br \/>\nAs for why the levy lost so big last year, Moss said simply &#8212; \u201cI don\u2019t think enough people got out to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople had the mindset &#8212; my vote is not going to make a difference,\u201d Moss said.<\/p>\n<p>Meeks agreed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of it was low voter turnout,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m thinking we\u2019re going to have a bigger turnout this time and my hope is that the majority of people are going to vote yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for April 12 at the Bowlerama, Meeks said that while it\u2019s a pro-levy event for young people, \u201cI would like to encourage as many adults as possible to come out.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they like music and dancing, come out and have a good time,\u201d Meeks said. <\/p>\n<p>Meeks encouraged \u201cpeople who might be against the levy or think they might be against the levy, to come out also, just to find out more information.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey might find something out that would change their minds,\u201d Meeks said.<\/p>\n<p>Meeks said that the new owners of the Bowlerama have been working on upgrading the facility. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir goal is to make the place a lot more family friendly,\u201d Meeks said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark the date &#8212; Saturday, April 12, 2014 between 4 pm and 10 pm.
