Cherish the people

Posted by Shoshana 
· Thursday, December 24th, 2015 

If there is one take away I could give you this Christmas as a gift, it would be, “Cherish the people…”

Cherish the people:

  • Who come to your performances
  • When they take the time to call for more information
  • Who donate above the ticket price
  • Dedicating their time to volunteer for you
  • Who serve on your board
  • Coming to a subscribed series
  • Becoming members of your organization
  • Who give you good advice
  • When they go above and beyond to support your art and organization
  • Who purchase your art
  • Who spread the word
  • Who work countless hours to make the magic happen both behind and on the stage
  • Who support you personally

I still hear the offside complaints about people. People can be silly at times, but they can also be your heroes in times of need.

When you cherish the people, they will cherish and support you back. It’s like having the Christmas (holiday) spirit all year round!
