You Don't Have to Wave a Banner to Make a Huge Difference

Submitted by Linda Henderson

That's a pretty short list of businesses supporting WAWN. We can do as they say they do "vote with our dollars". But I like to take a positive approach and concentrate on supporting those things that will create the kind of community we can all enjoy. Support the businesses and organizations that bring educated, thoughtful people here.

The next birthday, anniversary or other holiday - don't buy a generic gift at the local department store. Buy tickets to a show at the Barrow Civic Theatre, for an Arts Council Program or a show at the Latonia. Go to the National Transit building annex and buy a unique peice of art from one of the Artists. Get your friends together and go to Brother Bean's or the Howling Dog Cafe. Watch for the many great programs at Venango Campus (many free) and GO!

You don't have to wave a banner or write a letter or sign a petition to make a huge difference. Just show up! The greatest motivator for those of us working on programs is to see YOU walk in the door smiling. Tell them the Latonia sent you.
