I sure hope you can make it. It&amp;#8217;s going to be so much fun!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I know I haven&amp;#8217;t asked for much help (or gifts) these past 5 years since I became an Arts Center, but believe it or not&amp;#8230; I&amp;#8217;m a little nonprofit and I really need your help now to become sustainable and fulfill my potential. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So will you join me in helping young &amp;amp; old brains develop through community arts action?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And did you know you can definitely give to support the amazing all-ages arts programming here even if you can&amp;#8217;t make it to the party? Yep, either way is grand!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;live artistic,&lt;br/&gt;~Abbey&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
