It is absolutely wonderful to see how many charities and arts organizations are out in the world making a difference every day. A lot of the time individuals wish to do the same, but don’t know where or how to start. This work makes an example by connecting arts organizations and charitable acts on an individual basis.
Working as an individual can be really difficult, but it all starts with saying who we are, what we’re doing, and why. That’s where I started, and since then, I’ve gotten to know several wonderfully like-minded people. I work with these like-minded people as individuals : As a collective, these members can each participate as much or as little as they please- the range works from ensemble to fundraisers, to those simply mentioning our name and work. I get to know all of them by name, and work with them all at one point, on a one-on-one basis. Although we are now a group of people, it all started with one person. The lasting effect will also end with individuals, as we present these performances to people, one patient, and one senior residence member at a time.
So, if you are looking for a reason to vote today, do it because we are identified as individuals, and we work to connect with individuals.
