Hi friends, it’s Abbey. Can you come to my 5th birthday party?
It’s Wednesday November 17th! I sure hope you can make it. It’s going to be so much fun!
I know I haven’t asked for much help (or gifts) these past 5 years since I became an Arts Center, but believe it or not… I’m a little nonprofit and I really need your help now to become sustainable and fulfill my potential.
So will you join me in helping young & old brains develop through community arts action?
And did you know you can definitely give to support the amazing all-ages arts programming here even if you can’t make it to the party? Yep, either way is grand!
live artistic,
~Abbey
