I HAVE A DREAM, TOO!
So here it is. A new year., new day, a new leader and new board members. I am happy to see new members, and additional talented people willing to serve on the Board.
I am also concerned for the future of our art center. Without public support in the form of city budgeting assistance, it will be difficult to find enough funds to pay our expenses. The City is struggling to keep city services such as fire and police. I don't think an art center will be high on their list of priorities. Nevertheless, we are still here. And the day will come that we will have to make hard decisions about what to keep and what to let go.
OK, if I'm going to dream, I want to dream big. So I see in our future a new building on donated land, bright with large windows and ample space for local artists to create. I have dreamed this for years. It will happen. Just wait and see. Maybe not in the form I expect, but it will happen in some form.
There is someone (maybe more than one) in our group who can make a big difference in our future by giving a substantial gift to our non-profit organization.
Share this dream with me. Create the bridge to our future by forging the path. Talk to people. Some will laugh. Some with scoff. Some will say maybe. And one will say, "I think I can do that".
