My husband, Jerry and I love going to the theater! We enjoy attending local and out-of-the-area performances. We support many different organizations with our patronage. The month of May will be filled with end-of-the-year events: graduations, dance and music recitals. Your calendar will be brimming with lots of celebrations! So, as I list the amazing opportunities for you, please try to attend one or two of them. Also, consider volunteering! They would love to have your help!
