About the Provider
Description: We are a nonprofit community-based organization—our mission is to enhance and enrich the lives of children with special needs and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and similar conditions. Toward that end, we provide direct services and advocacy to assist those we serve in achieving their highest level of personal independence and self-sufficiency.
We are family based—Contra Costa ARC was founded by parents and family members of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Their vision guides everything we do. Family members serve on our Board of Directors, and individuals receiving services elect representatives to a Board Advisory Committee. Much of our support comes from families and friends of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We are experienced doing what we do, and we do it well—Contra Costa ARC was incorporated in 1965, and since then we’ve become a leader in the field, supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are known for providing high quality, cost-effective services. We serve over 1,000 children and adults in Contra Costa County every day.
We provide a wide range of opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our array of early intervention services includes a unique and highly respected program for children on the autism spectrum. We support hundreds of individuals to access their communities every day. We are the largest employer of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the East Bay.
We are a financially responsible nonprofit organization—we stretch our budget as far as it can be stretched. We don’t cut corners on the quality of our services, but we cut back expenses wherever they can be cut, and we make every dollar of every contribution count.
We work hard to be as self-sufficient as possible—we operate our own assembly, packaging, and direct mail business through our Commercial Support Services program, and we generate substantial support from our Good Stuff Thrift Shop in El Cerrito. Every dollar of revenue directly supports our programs.
Contra Costa ARC is a partnership between the public and private sectors—much of our funding comes from government sources, but a significant part is self-generated or comes from our friends in the community. In fact, we depend upon support from the community to continue operating. We invite you to become a part of that support.

Awesome place for special needs people to go each day. Loving, caring people work with them. They learn different skills, go on outings, play and have fun. I drive for Keolis transportation, pick up at home, take to program and home again. The staff is the greatest. Keolis is looking for drivers. I’ve been driving them for 28 years and love watching the excitement and smiles when they arrive at their program.

George Washington: Life Before the Presidency
On February 22, 1732, Mary Ball Washington gave birth to the first of her six children, a boy named George. George’s father, Augustine, had been married once before and had three older children from his previous marriage. Over the next several years, the large family moved a few times, before settling at Ferry Farm on the banks of the Rappahannock River near Fredericksburg, Virginia.
When George was eleven, his life changed radically. His father died, and George’s older brothers inherited most of Augustine’s estate, including Little Hunting Creek Plantation, which later became Mount Vernon. George inherited one of the smaller estates and ten enslaved individuals who worked the farm.
Without a large inheritance, George relied on his family and connections to make his way in the world. Unlike his older brothers, he did not have the opportunity to study at a university. He spent his teenage years learning how to manage a plantation from his mother and mastering the science of surveying with the assistance of his neighbor, Colonel William Fairfax.
In 1751, George accompanied his favorite older brother, Lawrence, on a trip to Barbados. While in the Caribbean, George came down with smallpox. He survived and left the island with lifelong immunity, but the disease probably left him unable to father children and with a firsthand conviction about the dangers of the disease.
The trip to Barbados was also formative for Washington’s future. He toured the military structures on the island and was increasingly interested in a military career. Initially, George wanted to join the British Navy, and Lawrence promised to help secure him a position. Mary, George’s mother, had strong reservations about the physical abuse her son might receive in the navy and the limited possibilities for advancement. She was probably right, as life in the navy was often brutal and short-lived.
With his dreams of naval glory dashed, Washington looked west.
Early Career
By George’s seventeenth birthday, he received his first official commission to survey Culpeper County. He had learned the skills under the supervision of Colonel William Fairfax, his neighbor and one of the leading figures in Virginia. Just a few years later, Washington had completed almost 200 surveys of more than 60,000 acres.
In 1752, George’s older brother Lawrence died, and Washington appeared to lose interest in surveying as a profession and pursued a military career instead. In October 1753, he offered his services to Lieutenant Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia, who planned to send an emissary to meet with the French in the Ohio Valley. The governor accepted Washington’s offer, and he headed west. Over the next few months, Washington became convinced that the French were planning a large military force to attack the British. Eager to warn Dinwiddie, George left the protection of the expedition and made his way on foot with one guide for company. After nearly drowning, freezing, and starving, he arrived in Williamsburg on January 16, 1754.
For his daring service, Washington was promoted to lieutenant colonel and ordered to raise men for an upcoming mission to drive the French out of the Ohio Valley. On his way to the Monongahela River, Washington encountered a French scouting party and determined that they had to be stopped before they revealed his location. He met up with Tanacharison, a local Native American chief, and they made their way to a French camp at Jumonville Glen. According to Washington’s later retelling of the events, when Washington intended to accept the French surrender, the Native American forces attacked and scalped many French soldiers. During the attack, the French commander, Sieur de Jumonville, was killed.
After the attack, Washington hastily built a small defensive enclosure he named Fort Necessity. On July 3, 1754, French forces surrounded the fort, and by the end of the day, Washington asked for terms of surrender. The French allowed the British forces to leave the fort in return for admitting to the assassination of Jumonville, an official ambassador. The terms were written in French, which Washington could not read. Washington never accepted this explanation, insisting that the French forces were spies and that the terms were unclear. The attack marked the start of the Seven Years’ War.
After the debacle at Jumonville, Washington joined Brigadier General Edward Braddock’s official family as an aide-de-camp. He accompanied Braddock on his march out west to capture the French Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh). French and Native American forces attacked the British line, killing most of the British officers and inflicting horrific casualties during the Battle of Monongahela. Washington won acclaim and promotion for his courage under fire and his efforts to manage an unruly retreat. For the next several years, he served as commander of the Virginia colonial forces before returning his commission at the end of 1758.
Mount Vernon
After leaving the military, Washington had a new position, a new fiancé, and a new home that demanded his attention. He won election to the Virginia House of Burgesses and took his seat in February 1759—one month after his wedding to the wealthy widow Martha Custis. The marriage was advantageous for George’s prospects, but also appears to have developed into a love match, or an amiable partnership at the very least. They wrote and spoke of each other with affection and desired each other’s company.
After their wedding, George and Martha resided at his plantation, Mount Vernon, which he had inherited when Lawrence’s widow died in 1761. Washington had grand plans for his new endeavors as a plantation owner. Over the previous several years, he had purchased dozens of enslaved individuals, and Martha brought 84 of the 300 enslaved laborers she owned to Mount Vernon, which added more manpower for the house and fields. Washington planned to expand the land and the house and revolutionize the farming practices. He began by purchasing lands surrounding the original 3,000 acres of the Mount Vernon estate, starting in 1757. By the time of his death, he owned nearly 8,000 acres.
Washington also quadrupled the size of the original house, from a one-and-a-half story, four-room house, to a 11,000-square-foot mansion, and he updated all the finishings and furnishings. Martha’s wealth funded the improvements, and she likely contributed to the décor and design decisions.
As Washington expanded his home to reflect his elite status, he also reformed his farm’s operations. He was one of the earliest plantation owners to recognize that tobacco damaged the soil. Spurred on by the falling prices, Washington ordered his enslaved laborers to switch over to grains, and he experimented with the latest techniques of fertilization and crop rotation methods.
Although Washington employed overseers to monitor the daily work of the enslaved workers in the field, he also assumed an active role in plantation supervision. He demanded regular reports of worker productivity and rode a large loop on horseback every day to check on the far corners of his estate.
Revolutionary War
Despite the Washingtons’ wealth, they found themselves in debt to British merchants due to the mercantilist system which governed the British Empire. The British government forced colonies to buy from and sell to British merchants, and the distance across the Atlantic Ocean exacerbated the inequalities within the system. For example, Washington sent his tobacco to a British merchant, who offered a low price. But by then, the tobacco was already in port, and Washington had no leverage. Similarly, he ordered fine goods like clothes, shoes, and jewelry from retailers in London, who supplied the goods and the bill. Again, Washington was forced to accept their prices. Washington was very sensitive about his status and honor and chafed at his inferior economic position.
These tensions boiled over when the British Parliament passed a series of taxation measures to pay down the debt accrued during the Seven Years’ War. From the British perspective, they had spent a fortune defending the colonies from the French. They believed that the colonists should contribute to these expenses. Additionally, colonists’ taxes were quite low—a fraction of what citizens in England paid.
But many colonists saw the taxes as confirmation that Britons viewed them as second-class citizens. The colonists had contributed to their own defense during the Seven Years’ War, and now Parliament demanded they contribute yet again.
Washington was not known for his oratory skills, but he encouraged the House of Burgesses to resist the taxation measures, and he personally abstained from purchasing British goods as part of a non-importation agreement. Colonists in Massachusetts went one step further. On December 16, 1773, a group of colonists boarded ships carrying East India Tea and dumped 342 chests of tea into the harbor. In retaliation, the British Parliament passed the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts. The acts closed the port of Boston and revoked self-government in Massachusetts until the colony paid restitution for the damaged tea.
These extreme measures appeared to punish the entire colony for the actions of a few unruly rebels, and they reminded the colonies that they were subjected to the whims of the British government. To formulate a unified response, the colonies agreed to send representatives to a Continental Congress. As one of the first delegates from Virginia, Washington agreed to form a Continental Association to manage communication between the colonies about the economic boycott of British goods. The delegates also crafted a petition to the king, imploring him to repeal the Intolerable Acts.
While the colonists waited for a response from the king, which never arrived, events in New England once against accelerated the conflict. In April 1775, British soldiers and local patriot militia clashed in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. The war had officially begun.
Commander-in-Chief
On June 14, the Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army. The next day, Thomas Johnson of Maryland nominated Washington as the first Commander-in-Chief. The delegates supported Washington’s nomination because he was one of the most experienced military commanders in the colonies. But his loyalty was also unquestioned, as he was born in North America and had never served in the British Army. Plus, he was a Virginian. Cooperation and unity among the colonies were required if they were going to win the war. Virginians were from the largest state and more likely to support the cause and the army if one of their own was at the helm.
Although Washington accepted the commission with the expected humility, he also welcomed the command. His choice to wear a uniform to the convention was no accident. After accepting the position, he wrote to Martha, “I could not think of departing from [Philadelphia] without dropping you a line; especially as I do not know whether it may be in my power to write again… I retain an unalterable affection for you, which neither time or distance can change. ” He then made his way to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to meet the troops already fighting the war against the British.
Washington was sorely disappointed by the army that greeted him upon his arrival at headquarters. The troops were disorganized, the conditions unsanitary, discipline was in short supply, and the officers were squabbling amongst themselves over their titles. His first course of action was to enforce some semblance of order on the amateur army.
He then turned his attention to the stalemate in Boston. The Americans forces had settled in defensive positions on the hills surrounding Boston, while the British forces were holed up in Boston. Washington sent Henry Knox, one of his favorite generals, to retrieve recently captured artillery from Fort Ticonderoga. Once Knox completed the mission, Washington ordered his forces to install the artillery overlooking the Boston Harbor—in secret, in the dead of night. General Thomas Gage, the British commander, abandoned Boston once he discovered his navy was in the line of fire.
The American victory at Boston validated the cause for independence and proved the Battles of Lexington and Concord were not a fluke. But by the end of 1776, American spirits were suffering. Washington planned one last-ditch effort to boost morale. Many of his troops’ enlistments were about to expire, and nearly half of his army would disappear on January 1. Additionally, Washington knew the fledgling nation needed an emotional victory before the army entered winter camp.
Under the cover of night on Christmas, Washington and the ragged American forces crossed the Delaware River, attacking and defeating the British troops in Trenton, New Jersey. A few days later, General Charles Cornwallis counterattacked, but Washington escaped and marched on British reinforcements at Princeton. With the element of surprise, the Continental Army won back-to-back victories. Although the battles did not alter the course of the war, they offered powerful encouragement to a disheartened people.
Although Washington won important battles, such as Boston, Trenton, and Princeton, he lost more. The British forced him to abandon forts, artillery, and eventually New York City during the summer of 1776. The following year, the British sailed south and captured Philadelphia, forcing Congress to flee west. After enjoying the comforts and entertainment the city had to offer, the British Army abandoned Philadelphia. As they marched back to New York in 1778, Washington attacked the rear of the British line and was defeated at the Battle of Monmouth.
Without the benefit of a navy, Washington could not have held New York City or Philadelphia indefinitely, but strategic errors exacerbated his losses. In New York, he divided his forces and failed to properly reconnoiter the terrain. In Philadelphia and at the Battle of Monmouth, he devised battle plans too complicated for his army to execute.
Despite the mounting losses, the army survived, thanks to Washington’s other leadership strengths. He might not have been a great tactician, but he was a brilliant manager. From the beginning of Washington’s command, he understood his own limitations and surrounded himself with talented subordinates who brought expertise and experience that supplemented his own. He then cultivated good relationships and an esprit de corps among his troops.
Washington remained with the army for the duration of the war and never moved into comfortable winter quarters until his troops had their lodgings established. He refused a salary for the duration of the war and lobbied Congress for the army’s salary and pensions. The troops adored Washington for his commitment to them. Washington also cultivated a family atmosphere every winter. At his insistence, Martha and many of the officers’ wives joined them at winter quarters, where they hosted holiday balls and riding parties to foster a personal connection.
Foreign allies proved to be a critical part of the officer corps. Foreign officers, like Baron von Steuben, offered their expertise on drilling and helped whip the Continental Army into a sophisticated fighting force, while the Marquis de Lafayette brought much-needed funds and served as a diplomatic link to France.
Lafayette’s effective lobbying helped bring the French into the war, which made the conflict an international one and forced British forces to defend the mainland, as well as their holdings in the far east and the Caribbean. No longer could they direct their undivided attention toward their wayward North American colonies.
Washington also showed a willingness to evolve—how he thought about the army, his tactics, and his strategy. From almost the very beginning, Washington struggled to feed, clothe, and arm his forces, let alone find enough men to serve. To meet the demand, many northern states encouraged the enlistment of free and enslaved Black Americans, and many offered freedom in return for service for the duration of the war. Concerns about slave uprisings stymied similar measures in the South, but even southern states allowed free Black Americans to serve toward the end of the war. Black Americans also played an oversized role in the first American Navy, including 150 Black men in Virginia alone.
Initially, Washington opposed enlisting Black men as soldiers. But the shortage of soldiers forced him to reconsider this position, and the valor of Black troops challenged many of Washington’s ideas about race. Prior to the war, Washington showed little compunction about buying and selling enslaved individuals. But as the war progressed, he began to consider the injustices of slavery and the possibility of free Black Americans. After the war, he committed to keeping families together on his plantation and refused to buy or sell additional individuals. This evolution would continue over the course of his presidency and his retirement.
Washington also showed flexibility when it came to the direction of the war. By 1780, the war in the North had settled into a stalemate, and King George III and his ministers believed that the southern population remained loyal to the crown and hoped that Loyalist militias would flock to support a British attack. From December 1778 to the fall of 1781, the British Navy captured Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, laid waste to ports along the Virginia coast, and invaded deep into the Virginia countryside.
Victory at Yorktown
Washington sent his best general, Nathanael Greene, to conduct a guerilla-style campaign against General Charles Cornwallis in the South. While Cornwallis won many of the skirmishes, Greene extracted a heavy cost and forced Cornwallis to retreat from North Carolina to Virginia to recoup his losses. Cornwallis made camp on the tip of a peninsula, near Yorktown, and waited for the British Navy to arrive with supplies and troops from General Henry Clinton in New York.
While Washington proposed recapturing New York City, the French commanders had other ideas. The French army commander, the Comte de Rochambeau, reported to Washington, but in name only. Washington needed the French Navy, led by the Comte de Grasse, to launch a successful attack on a British position. Both de Grasse and Rochambeau preferred to take on the British in the Chesapeake Bay.
While the combined Franco-American forces marched south, the French fleet sailed from the Caribbean and drove the British Navy from the Chesapeake Bay. The French naval victory at the Battle of the Chesapeake closed off Cornwallis’s means of escape and the ability to supply his forces by water. On September 14, Washington arrived in Williamsburg, Virginia. Over the next several weeks, the French and American artilleries bombarded the British position, while the armies dug trenches closer and closer to the British lines. Finally, on October 17, a white handkerchief of surrender flew over the British wall.
After the overwhelming victory at Yorktown, Washington returned with his army to New York, where they set up headquarters just out of reach of the British, who were still holed up in the city. Although the fighting in North America had mostly stopped, Washington remained on guard against British trickery. He also worked to keep boredom at bay amongst the troops, as a restless and bored army could prove dangerous.
Washington’s concerns came to fruition in early 1783, when a group of officers conspired to challenge the Confederation Congress, an event which became known as the Newburgh Conspiracy. Most soldiers, both infantry troops and officers, were owed months, if not years, of back pay. They worried that Congress might attempt to disband the army without paying its debts when the war came to an end. Washington rushed to defuse the tensions by convening a gathering, where he delivered an address and shared a letter of support from Congress. To read the text, he pulled out his glasses and said to his men, “Gentleman, you must pardon me, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in service to my country.” This theatrical tug on the soldiers’ heartstrings diffused any plot to overthrow the civilian government.
Six months later, American diplomats signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War and securing independence for the colonies from Great Britain. In December 1783, Washington traveled to Annapolis, Maryland, and returned his commission to Congress. In the age of dictators, military despots, and monarchs, his voluntary surrender of power was extraordinary.
The American victory in the war was the product of three critical factors. First, Washington quickly grasped that if the army survived, so too would the cause for independence. Second, the American colonies were too large and dispersed to invade and subdue, especially because Britain wanted to wage a war for hearts and minds, but they could not retain good relations with the colonists and suppress a rebellion through force. Finally, French participation forced Britain to wage a war on several fronts, stretching its supply chains across the globe.
New Nation
The United States declared itself independent in July 1776, but the Treaty of Paris transformed that imagined independence into a reality. Congress had incurred considerable debt equipping and feeding the army, purchasing ammunition, and waging war. Now that the fighting was complete, that debt was due. The coffers were empty however, and the economy was in shambles.
European empires and Native American nations lingered in the wings, eager to take advantage of US weakness. Spain denied American ships access to the Mississippi River, which farmers depended on to transport their goods for sale. British forces encouraged Native American nations to defend their homelands from white encroachment and supplied funds and arms for these attacks.
Westerners demanded Congress address their security and economic needs, which placed Congress in a bit of a bind. People in the eastern regions did not share the same concerns, and they refused to pay for an army to defend the western border when settlers were responsible for instigating conflict with Native American nations. They also preferred Congress focus on negotiating treaties that would open Caribbean and European ports to Americans merchants, rather than the Mississippi River. As tensions between different regions increased, European empires encouraged troublemakers to consider seceding from the new country and returning to their protection.
Congress had no ability to address any of these rising tensions because it had no money to pay its existing debts, fund an army to protect western settlements, or pay for diplomacy. The Articles of Confederation did not authorize Congress to collect taxes. Congress could approve requisitions, basically requests, but it had no enforcement power, making the requests optional. By the mid-1780s, the states ignored the requisitions and focused on paying down their own debts instead.
Washington had long foreseen that congressional limitations would be a problem. As he prepared to return his commission in 1783, he wrote a circular to the governors of the states urging them to adopt the requisite reforms to empower Congress to govern. The states did not heed his warning. Even if some states favored reform, it was not an option. Amending the Articles of Confederation required unanimous consent—which states refused to give.
Shays’ Rebellion
In 1786, Congress’s impotency came to a head when a group of farmers, led by Revolutionary War veteran Daniel Shays, shut down the courts in western Massachusetts to prevent the seizure of local farms for overdue tax bills. The Massachusetts government pleaded with Congress to send troops to quell the rebellion, but Congress had no funds to pay for troops and left Massachusetts to its own devices.
The government’s inaction horrified Washington who wrote to his friend Henry Knox, “If government shrinks, or is unable to enforce its laws; fresh manœuvres will be displayed by the insurgents— anarchy & confusion must prevail.”
The revolt was crushed after wealthy Boston merchants raised a private army, but the event convinced many Americans that serious reform was needed. Accordingly, Congress sent out invitations for a convention in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787.
Constitutional Convention
Many leaders understood that Washington’s participation was essential to the convention’s success, and the Virginia state legislature agreed and included his name on the slate of delegates. With much reluctance, Washington departed Mount Vernon on May 9. Official quorum for the convention was reached on May 25, and the delegates elected Washington as president of the Constitutional Convention. As president, Washington attended every single session.
Several debates dominated the discussions at the Convention: the proper balance of federal power versus state power; the balance between executive versus legislative power; the balance between big versus little states; and the role of slavery in all the previous equations.
After rebelling against a king, Americans had been reluctant to create another strong centralized power. However, the Articles of Confederation had demonstrated that a weak federal government would not work either. To address these dueling motivations, the delegates agreed to give key powers to the federal government—like raising funds, organizing a national army, dictating foreign policy, and enforcing the laws—but then also included a specific clause that reserved the remaining powers to the states.
Although Congress agreed on this compromise, many “anti-Federalists,” or those opposed to stronger federal power, still worried about the potential for federal overreach. This criticism later threatened to derail ratification. In response, Madison helped pass the first ten amendments to the Constitution in 1789, known as the Bill of Rights, which guaranteed personal liberties against federal encroachment.
The second debate focused on how authority would be delegated in a strong federal government. The war experience had convinced many that Congress was too inefficient to make many decisions quickly, but a strong single executive resembled a monarchy. The delegates compromised by giving both branches important powers, as well as the ability to check each other through vetoes and impeachment.
The delegates then turned their attention to apportioning power in Congress among the states. Small states, like Delaware and Vermont, worried larger states, like Virginia and New York, would bully them. On the other hand, bigger states wanted their larger populations to provide more voting power. After months of debates, the delegates agreed to base House of Representative apportionment on population, which would give more power to larger states, but each state would receive equal representation in the Senate.
Complicating all these debates was the ever-present specter of slavery. Southerners demanded the enslaved populations in their states count toward the population numbers. While many of the northern states had larger populations and more influence in 1787, the expanding enslaved population in the South threatened to dominate the House of Representatives in the future. Yet, northerners worried if they did not compromise, southern delegates would leave the convention, ending all hope of reform. They compromised and agreed to count enslaved individuals as 3/5 of a white individual for the purpose of representation in Congress.
Even if they had wished to, the delegates could not ignore slavery. Many of the delegates brought enslaved servants to Philadelphia to prepare food, mend clothing, care for their horses, and run errands. Additionally, a large population of free and enslaved Black Americans lived and worked in Philadelphia. Even in a northern city such as Philadelphia, slavery was entwined with every aspect of life.
While the final product was not everything Washington had hoped, he wrote to his friends that he “sincerely believe[d] it is the best that could be obtained at this time.” Washington’s contributions to the convention were twofold: his presence lent the convention credibility and his support helped secure ratification of the proposed Constitution.
On September 17, the convention wrapped its proceedings and submitted the Constitution to Congress for its consideration. Washington penned a cover letter expressing his support and included his signature as an effective endorsement of the project. After returning to Mount Vernon, Washington continued his efforts. He sent copies of the Constitution to his network urging their support. When he read articles or pamphlets that argued in favor of ratification, he forwarded them to editors and encouraged their publication.
The proposed Constitution provided for a single elected executive. Everyone knew if the states ratified the Constitution, then Washington would be the first president. Americans had trusted him with enormous authority once before and believed they could do so again.

History
Name
The town’s early meaning and use was a direct reference to the Cannon Mills Corporation, or James William Cannon himself. Early published variations of the names include “Cannon-opolis” and “Cannapolis”. The widespread origin of the word “Kannapolis” comes from a combination of the Greek words kanna (reed, not loom) and polis (city), which some believe meant “City of looms”. [10] Dr. Gary Freese, Catawba College Chair of History and Politics, said the Concord Newspaper used the name “Cannon City” in 1906. After factory workers or newspapers named the city Cannapolis, J.W. Cannon asked Cabarrus to be authorized to name the city, but beginning with the letter “K”. Kannapolis historian Norris Dearmon said that the letter K could distinguish the city from its mill village of Concord. Because, as Freese said, “Jim Cannon did not learn Greek,” Cannon did not refer to the city as “the city of the looms.” [11] In 1906, J. Cannon purchased the land that later became Kannapolis and acquired a total of 1,008 acres in Cabarrus and Rowan counties. Approximately 808 acres of farmland purchased along the historic wagon road between Salisbury and Charlotte became the site of a new textile factory, Cannon Manufacture. Cannon Manufacturing began in 1908. In 1914, Cannon Manufacturing became known as the world’s largest manufacturer of sheets and towels. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Cannon opened factories in Rowan County, Concord and South Carolina, employing 20,000 workers. Mill founder J. Cannon’s youngest son, Charles A. Cannon, at 1928 merged all the individual factories into the giant company Cannon Mills.

Jamail Larkins
Founder of Ascension Air Management
Age: 29
At the age of 12, Jamail made his first airplane journey and immediately fell ill with aviation. As a teenager, the future entrepreneur sold instructions for using aircraft equipment and loved attending air shows. In 2006, Larkins co-founded an aircraft sales business. Today, his company, Ascension Air, generates $8 million in annual profits and is the leading regional distributor for Cirrus Aircraft, the world’s largest manufacturer of piston-powered aircraft. Because the most popular aircraft of its kind costs $850,000 and pilots only fly a few days a month, Larkins mostly sells the aircraft on a fractional basis.

Olivia Wilde
Actress, social entrepreneur
age: 29
Any philanthropist knows that fundraising is hard work. In order to raise funds for charitable purposes, one has to convince donors over and over again of the significance of their initiatives. Hollywood star Olivia Wilde chose her own way by founding Conscious Commerce. This startup is partnering with brands to help them achieve win-win partnerships in the area of social responsibility. Thus, the profits from the sales of the Anthropologie dress go to finance women’s schools in India, and the limited edition handbags from Alternative Apparel “support” the education system of Haiti.
“I’ve always been an advocate for donations to important causes and have been inspired by the entrepreneurs of my generation who encourage people to spend their dollars wisely,” explains Wilde. In 2013, Conscious Commerce raised $100,000 for New Light, an Indian charity project that aims to support women and children in an impoverished area of Calcutta.
Olivia is also pursuing an acting career in addition to her charity work: her recent role in the film Drinking Buddies has received a lot of positive feedback.

Maria Sharapova
Tennis player
Age: 26
World No. 4 Maria Sharapova will return to her native Sochi this winter to work as an NBC correspondent during the Olympics. It was not without reason that the American network decided to make the Russian woman its face during the Games, because Sharapova knows how to make money. Last year, she became the highest paid female athlete in the world according to Forbes with an annual income of $29.million, of which $23 million came from off-court transactions.
The four-time Grand Slam winner has in recent years signed long-term advertising contracts with brands such as Porsche, Motorola, Tiffany and Nike (the latter even created a Sharapov-inspired clothing line). In 2013, the athlete opened her first business: Sugarpova sweets appeared on store shelves around the world and have already brought the tennis player about $6 million. “Business has always been my passion. And I’ve always been sweet. After all, a tennis career is just a small part of my life,” Sharapova admits.

Lucas Daplan
Founder of Clinkle
Age: 22
Just a year after graduating from Stanford, Lucas Daplan runs one of America’s most talked about and controversial startups, Clinkle. The company is introducing an innovative model of financial transactions – using a digital wallet on smartphones. Daplan made a splash in Silicon Valley, raising $30 million from entrepreneurs like Richard Branson, Peter Thiel, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
Until now, without revealing the details of his service to the general public, Lucas managed to recruit Netflix CFO Barry McCarthy to his team by offering him the position of COO. Blogs, however, are increasingly circulating rumors that key employees are already leaving the startup. Daplan, often ridiculed by journalists with his arrogance, says: “In the end, only one thing will matter – are people using our service? For us, the product is important, not the opinion of the press.”

Trip Adler
Co-Founder of Scribd
Age: 29
An avid surfer, saxophonist, and Ph. D. in physics from Harvard, Adler is a versatile man. He believes that readers should broaden their horizons and think first about what to read, not what to buy.
Founded by Adler in 2007, Scribd allows users to share content and access unlimited eBook downloads for only $8.99 per month. The service has already entered into more than 100 partnership agreements with publishers, and its library has over 100 thousand titles of books. But the ambitions of the entrepreneur are not limited to this. “We want to be the #1 digital library in the world,” Adler says. With tens of millions of dollars in revenue and 80 million subscribers, Scribd no longer needs venture capital investment. “Now it is important for us to learn how to reinvest our profits in further business growth,” says Adler.

Honolulu native Bruno Mars will play at halftime in the Super Bowl, the playoffs of the US National Football League next month. Despite the fact that this is one of the highest-rated events on American TV, the musician does not show any signs of excitement: “Anyway, Hawaii does not have its own team, so I have nothing to worry about – I just hang out there.” Mars is the first artist under 30 in over a decade to be honored to perform at the Super Bowl. However, he is no stranger to this: Bruno was nominated 14 times for the Grammy, and two of his albums went platinum.

Meg Gill
Co-founder of Golden Road Brewing
Age: 28
It is believed that beer is a man’s drink. Nevertheless, it turns out that women not only drink it with pleasure, but also know how to produce it. Vivid proof of this is Meg Gill. It seems that she is the youngest woman – the owner of a brewery in America, which, by the way, is experiencing a real beer boom: more than 2 thousand varieties of the drink are already produced in the country. Meg’s Los Angeles-based Golden Road Brewing brewed 15,000 barrels of beer last year alone and plans to double that this year. Gill believes that the atmosphere that surrounds the production process, human relations and brand history is important for success. Before starting her own company, she studied classical literature at Yale: “Latin is like putting the pieces of a puzzle together. The essence of breweries is the same.”
Meg’s business partner is industry veteran and founder of the Mohawk Bend brand, Tony Yanow. Golden Road Brewing sells the beer in four aluminum cans for $7.99. In 2013, the company’s revenue was $10 million. This year, Gill plans to expand his business outside of southern California.

Palmer Lucky
Oculus VR CEO
Age: 21
Virtual reality is no longer considered science fiction, thanks in part to this 21-year-old video game fanatic. A self-taught engineer, he started designing virtual reality displays while still at school. As a college student, Palmer created the first prototype of the Oculus Rift VR headset. “You put it on,” says Lucky, “and you really feel like you’re in a game, not looking at a monitor.” Gaming legends like Valve’s Gabe Newell and id Software’s John Carmack helped the young talent raise $2.4 million in a 2012 fundraising campaign. Startup Oculus VR raised $9 in one year1 million venture investments and increased the staff to 50 specialists. A demo version of the helmet for video game developers has appeared, and the gadget should go on sale in 2014. Its estimated price will be $300.

The cumulative volume of investments since 2008 has made $57 million. Edmodo positions itself as “Facebook for an educational class”. Focusing on schoolchildren, their parents and teachers, the service has increased the number of users to 30 million in five years of operation. They represent 210 thousand educational institutions, and more than a million of them are teachers.
Edmodo has become incredibly popular in cities like Chicago and Boston. Without creating content on their own, the platform is a free and secure online platform where all participants in the educational process can share information: discuss curricula, analyze the results of tests and homework. In addition, Edmodo collaborates with developers and offers users more than 600 profile applications, the authors of which share the proceeds with the Borg platform.
Edmodo co-founder says: “Yes, technology has evolved incredibly rapidly in recent years, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Over time, we will learn how to use technology more effectively to improve the quality of the educational process”

Divia Nag
Co-founder of Stem Cell Theranostics and Startx Med
Age: 22
Divia Nag is tackling one of the biggest challenges in modern medicine: the short lifespan of human cells during laboratory testing. Because of this problem, the results of clinical trials of new drugs in 90% of cases are unreliable, and promising developments do not reach patients. The new technology of induced pluripotent stem cells may help to resolve the situation.
Nag Stem Cell Theranostics was created with a $20 million grant from the California University of Regenerative Medicine. The essence of the technology being developed is to transform ordinary human cells into embryonic stem cells, which can serve to create heart tissue. These artificial cells survive better in the laboratory and are more efficient for drug development. In the future, according to scientists, they will become an affordable alternative to heart tissues that die during heart attacks. Stem Cell Theranostics’ customers already include three pharma giants, but profits have so far been modest.
Nag, who published articles in top scientific journals during her Stanford years, left university to pursue her dream. The girl does not regret her choice: “Our technology looked so promising, and I believed in it so much that I didn’t think of anything else. It was absolutely clear that this is what I would like to do all my life.”

Shiza Shahid
Co-founder of Malala Fund
Age: 24
When Shiza Shahid learned of the Taliban’s attempt on the life of a young Pakistani human rights activist, Malala Yousafzai, in 2012, she immediately flew to help the victim. The girls met three years earlier while working to protect girls’ rights to education. After the assassination attempt, Shiza oversaw the treatment of a colleague in London. “One day when I was next to Malala, she woke up and said, ‘I want to continue my campaign,’” recalls Shahid. As a result, the Stanford graduate quit her career at McKinsey and headed the charitable foundation of 16-year-old Yousafzai. In less than two years of work, the organization received $400,000 in grants from the World Bank and the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie couple. This year, the famous documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim will release a film about the working days of Yusufzai and Shahid.

Nate Levine
Founder of OpenGov
Age: 22
While studying at Stanford, Nate Levine learned one thing: governments can’t effectively organize their work on the Internet. “The government is having a hard time working with its own data, because there are simply no good tools,” he said. In a similar vein, the 20-year-old student co-founded the OpenGov platform, which helps governments make rational decisions and communicate with the public. The startup has already raised more than $7 million and partnered with 50 municipalities, school districts and other local governments, collectively representing more than 7 million Americans. OpenGov is thinking about developing towards the commercial sector, while Levine is focused on creating breakthrough IT tools in the field of information exchange and streamlining the budget process. “Optimizing access to information allows the authorities to focus on the management process itself. It seems to me that this is very important in light of budget cuts and the growing needs of the population,” he says.

Carter Cleveland
Founder of Artsy
Age: 27
In 2008, while studying computer science at Princeton, Carter Cleveland decided to search the Internet for a painting to decorate his dorm room. “I was sure there was a website that had a catalog of world art,” Cleveland recalls. It turned out that there was no such project. This is how the idea of a portal appeared that recommends art content to users based on their interests.
The Carter Artsy project gives users access to 85,000 art objects from 400 private collections and museums (including the National Gallery of Art and the Getty Museum), and 1,400 galleries. Initially, the entrepreneur wanted to create something like an online art repository, but then he discovered that he could earn commissions from sales. Investors such as Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Google chairman Eric Schmidt and cult art dealer Larry Gagosian have poured $14.5 million into the startup.0005
Cleveland does not hide the fact that his idol is Jeff Bezos: “We want to become an analogue of Amazon for the art world.”

Marketing and advertising
Brian Wong
Kiip co-founder
Age: 22
Imagine you’ve just completed a 5K run and an app on your iPhone is already offering you a free liter of water from advertisers. Or you have finished a difficult level of your favorite game, and you can download another game for free as a reward. These “incentives” are a big part of the future of advertising. So at least says Kiip co-founder, University of British Columbia graduate Brian Wong.
“We capture and analyze over a billion examples of contextual advertising every month. With its help, brands can participate much more actively in the lives of their audience,” explains the entrepreneur. Over the three years of its existence, Kiip has attracted $15.4 million in investments, having acquired more than 500 major brands as clients. Among them are giants like Procter & Gamble, Pepsi and Disney. As a result, coverage amounted to 70 million users and 1,500 mobile games and applications. This year, according to Wong’s plans, the company should become profitable.

Already the first story “Family Court”, written five years earlier, caused not only the approval of readers, but the effect of an exploding bomb. The best writers of the era admired the “history of the dead” of an entire family clan and inspired the author to create a large epic canvas.

My man in the north 18+
Love in the ideal representation, in the memoirs of the main character – Varya – this is an unfulfilled dream, the fog of years gone by. The performance represents two parallel layers of time, the boundary between which is only three years, dividing the life of the heroine into two contrasting periods.

Tests of love, ideas about love or its absence are prepared for other heroines.

This is both a subtle parody of both Shakespeare and Hollywood cinema of the 1930s. There will be everything: the red carpet, censors, critics, camera-motor-stop-shot, movie stars of the last century, true love, and also dances in the style of the era – in the style of jazz.
Krechinsky’s Wedding 12+
“More than a comedy,” says the play’s director Boris Gurevich about Krechinsky’s Wedding. This is the most popular play from the famous trilogy of Alexander Vasilyevich Sukhovo-Kobylin.

The Executioners 18+
Oscar-winning author of the comedy The Executioners Martin McDonagh is known for his paradoxical plots and dark humor.
Macbeth 18+
The consciousness of modern man is refracted through the images and text of William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. A real restaurant was built on the stage, New Year’s Eve. The tragedy turns into revelry and orgy of the eternal Russian corporate party.
The Queen of Spades 12+
Alexander Pushkin’s “Queen of Spades” is called a mystical anecdote. In the Novokuznetsk version of the story, the secret of the old countess and her three cards is not solved. What is the main character like us, what is he ready for for the sake of “happiness”, at what moment does he go crazy, what is happiness in the modern world – these are the questions that are being answered in the play.
Zhanna 16+

The rebel McKmurphy tries to make small revolutions with them every day in the name of one big idea.
Libra 16+
In the waiting room of the maternity ward, men talk about life. They are verbose or, on the contrary, silent. Some of them have been in the fathers’ club for a long time, while others are just getting ready to join it. It seems that it is during these exciting hours of waiting for a miracle – the birth of a new person – that the world reaches a delicate balance.
Lolita 18+
From fear of being discovered to furious persecution. From pathology to love. The story of 37-year-old Humbert Humbert and 12-year-old Dolores Haze gives rise to controversy and the desire to reach a verdict, evokes sympathy or denial. The heroes of Lolita are familiar to many, but few can say that they know them. How does this 12 year old girl feel? A child or a woman who exists only in the plane of male attention? What happens to this man who is aware of his vice?
Adventurers 16+
The four adventurers, fleeing poverty and material problems, are trying to make a profit by carrying out an ingenious plan, some kind of scam.

The author of the play, Jean-Claude Carrière, is a world-famous French screenwriter, playwright, writer, winner of the Oscar and the Grand Prix of the Cannes Film Festival.

Now is a difficult time. Where is the lie and where is the truth? Before our eyes, people are being dehumanized, moral laws are being violated. Genetic engineering flourishes, dangerous experiments are being carried out. And, of course, “humanity, laughing, parted with its past.”
Who is to blame for the story of the charming dog? Professor Preobrazhensky or Commissar Shvonder? And is Sharik himself an evil dog or a small child who is blindly used by both medicine and government officials?!
The answer to these and other questions can be obtained by watching a performance permeated with irony and humor directed by the wonderful director Valery Sarkisov.

Tad Mosel (May 1, 1922 – August 24, 2008) – American playwright, one of the leading genre playwrights . teleplay genre live at 1950s. He received the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his play All the Way Home .

Mosel born George Ault Mosel Jr. in Steubenville, Ohio to George Ault Mosel Sr. and Margaret Norman. Raised as a Presbyterian, he was eight years old when his father’s wholesale grocery business went bankrupt due to the stock market crash and the family moved to suburban New York. In 1931, George Sr. founded a successful advertising company in New York. Recalling his youth in Larchmont, New York, and New Rochelle, New York, Mosel stated:
- My brother and I got a sense of security. My brother is four years older than me. We had a nice, wonderful house. I had a wonderful mother and father… I adored my mother and father. They were both wonderful parents. [1]
Mosel’s interest in the theater began in 1936 when he saw Catherine Cornell on Broadway in The George Bernard Show with Saint Joan . He went to Mount Hermon School in Northfield, Massachusetts for one year, graduating from New Rochelle High School. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mosel dropped out of Amherst College to enlist in the army. During World War II, he was a United States Air Force Weather Service Sergeant (1943–46) as a weather observer, including one year in the South Pacific. In the post-war years, he completed Amherst and graduate studies at the Yale School of Drama (BA), and then received a master’s degree from Columbia University. He wrote plays while auditioning as an actor, and at 19In 1949 he was on Broadway in a stealing, non-speaking role as a bewildered private in a farce. At war with the army . [2]
Career
His first teleplay was shown on Chevrolet TV-Theater in 1949. In the early 1950s he became a lead writer on live television, appearing in six teleplays for Goodyear Television Playhouse (1953-1954) from two to Medallion Theater (1953-1954) and four to Lodge 90 (1957–1959). He also wrote for Philco Television Theater (1954), Showcase Producers and Studio One . After Eileen Heckart appeared at Harbor (at Philco Television Playhouse ), his 1953 play about a troubled marriage, Mosel and Heckart became friends, and he wrote several screenplays specifically for it, including a 1953 play. Other People’s Homes (at Goodyear Television Playhouse ) is about a housekeeper caring for an elderly father. [2]
In 1997, Mosel recalled:
- Paddy Chayevsky, Horton Foote, Sumner Locke Elliott, JP Miller and all the group of writers I knew, we grew up at the same time and our eyes were fixed on the theatre. It was the Emerald City. This was the goal. Now television appeared after the Second World War, and television was a beggar. There was no money. No “self-respecting writer” deigns to write for television. Even drunk screenwriters wouldn’t write for television. So who is left there? It was us. They were kids who worked for 65 cents. And so with a very patronizing attitude, you thought, “Well, if I could make a few dollars off this, I’d have time to write a great American play.” It didn’t take too much experience to realize that television was a medium in itself, and that it was a career in itself and an exciting one. But we stumbled upon it, so to speak, being snobs. They will give anyone a chance. I look back at it and think, “Aren’t we lucky to be there?” Because it was pure luck that we were there… It was the silence before the broadcast, which was so dramatic because everyone was there in sufficient time, but everyone was silent. No one talks, no one moves – hands on the keys but not moving. The only thing that moved was the second hand on the big clock, and when it reached the top, everyone started moving. This peace, this stillness was very dramatic before you got into it. It was a great moving moment and you suddenly fell in love with every actor and you just wished they were all rich and had children and went to happy graves. [1]
Moselle All the Way Home Premiered November 30, 1960 at the Belasco Theater in New York to critical acclaim. In addition to winning the 1961 Pulitzer Prize, the play was nominated for a Tony Award. A stage adaptation of James Agee’s novel A Death in the Family , it dramatizes the reaction of a Tennessee family to the accidental death of their father in the summer of 1915. The play was also shown on television several times – in 1963, 1971 and 1981. In Denmark she was known as I havn and directed for Danish television by Clara Ostö in 1959.
Film adaptation of All the Way Home (1963) was filmed in the same area of Knoxville, Tennessee where Agee grew up. Directed by Alex Segal, it is featured by Robert Preston, Gene Simmons and Pat Hingle.
Mosel wrote the screenplays for the films Dear Heart , starring Glenn Ford and Geraldine Page, with Mosel in a cameo role as the man in the lobby and the popular Up the Stairs Down based on the novel by Bel Kaufman and starring Sandy Dennis.
He was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series for episode The Adams Chronicles , a PBS drama series based on the lives of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams and their families.
Many of Mosel’s television plays can be viewed at the Paley Media Center in New York and Los Angeles.
Personal life
Mosel’s death at age 86 from esophageal cancer came after 18 years of living in Havenwood Heritage Heights, a retirement community in Concord, New Hampshire, where he lectured frequently. He was preceded by death at 1995 year. Raymond Tatro, McCall magazine graphic designer; they have been partners for over 40 years.
Heritage
Moselle’s $100,000 gift to Havenwood-Heritage Heights was used to fund an auditorium called Tad’s Place for future community speakers. [3]

George Condo | Gary Tatintsian Gallery, Inc.
George Condo (1957, Concord, New Hampshire). Lives and works in New York.
George Condo is one of the most influential contemporary American artists, known for his unique style of figurative painting with an emphasis on refractive forms, Picasso’s cubism and distorted images of aggressive illusory reality.
Kondo studied art history and music theory at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. Starting his career at the Andy Warhol Factory, he moved to Paris in 1985, where he lived for ten years, studying classical painting. Returning to Manhattan in 1995, Kondo began his years-long experiment with the concept of realistic representation of fictional images, which he dubbed “artificial realism.” “I felt like I had to go back to New York with an idea that could stand up to Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup. Ironically, I turned to the canvases of the old masters.
Throughout his thirty-year career, George Condo consistently interprets historical pictorial traditions and genres through the prism of changing social norms and foundations. It ironically reflects modern American culture and its influence on the development of society’s value orientations and the perception of painting in general.
His art is a bold blend of sensual European school painting with the aesthetics of Pablo Picasso’s Maidens of Avignon, Francis Bacon’s Studies of the Human Body and Willem De Kooning’s female characters with references to kitsch and popular American culture, including Playboy magazine, comics and animation .
