What they're doing is helping everybody.'' The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center uses the grant to supplement its ``Galaxy of Friends'' program, said Fred Helsel, the center's assistant general manager. ``That helps us to subsidize tickets for organizations and youth groups. It also helps us to bring in specialized programs, to expand our programming and not have to worry about ticket sales covering the entire cost of the artist,'' Helsel explained.
