Why Do You Give Back?
Mark your calendars for December 3rd. Giving Tuesday is a new national day dedicated to giving and volunteering.
In the days leading up to Giving Tuesday on December 3, we're sharing stories from people who have chosen to give back.
Today's message is from Dawn Quast, who volunteers her time and talents as a member of ArtStarts' Board of Directors and, in addition, is a monthly donor.
Dawn says:
"I give back because I want all children to have the opportunity to have the arts in their lives."
Dawn also sent in a message along with performing artist Kuniko Yamamoto, who was touring in northern BC:
"I give because having the arts in our life makes us whole."
