thanks a lot.

It is that time of year where we scurry off to visit, or perhaps play host to family, friends, and strangers that will become friends. We give thanks for this holiday.

As an arts organization we give thanks every day to the volunteers that brighten our weeks with their unflappable energy to give, and share, and give some more; sometimes it is their time, sometimes it is their money, sometimes it is their expertise, but they return again and again to help make the arts accessible to anyone that wants to experience great music, learn a new skill, or see the world from another's point of view.
We could not do the work we do without Edith and Ann and Carolyn and Kathy and Jean and Jim and Wendy and Dave and Sara and Tony and Nancy and Judith and Dennie and Gary and Tara and Deb. The year with ArtSoup in it could not be without the hundred or so volunteers including Isobel and Judy and Ron and Darlene. The art shows at the Government Center could not take place without the help of folks like Karen and Dave and Jerry and Chris. Our performances would be sadder places without the help of Barb and Dave and Helen.

In other words, without volunteers, we could not exist.

Thank you volunteers. As they say somewhere; "You rock!"



Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, but please, take home some leftovers, we couldn't possibly eat all this by ourselves.
