PerformingView – New Year Tradition


PerformingView
By Kaye Osborn

Hello 2018! I believe a new year is a time for fresh starts and small changes. Don’t you? New Year’s Resolutions often focus on losing weight, exercising, eating healthier! Why not celebrate your new year by going to a live performance, or become an usher at Gallo, or volunteer for a local theater venue. It’s a great way to make new friends and get a glimpse at behind the scenes. All it takes is a phone call and just like that you are involved. Don’t be bashful. Be bold. Be brave. Reach out and make a difference.

Here’s what is happening in our neck of the woods!
