Tell us your
Yes, 2020 has been quite a year. But you know, there is much to be grateful for. We’d like to hear your Gratitude Story and make a collection of what our community is grateful for. Here’s your chance to acknowledge a kind act, a heroic endeavor, a “thinking outside the box” move that made a difference in your life this year. We’re going to share all our stories at a gratitude party!
Join Museum Director, Sue Scott, and TSPR News Director, Rich Egger on Saturday, January 9th at 7:00 pm for a live stream where we’ll share what we’ve heard from you! Along with your stories, the evening will include musical performances and conversation with guests. With all our Gratitude Stories, together we can move into 2021 fortified and ready for whatever comes our way next.
Check back for a schedule of participants for the online program.
This is your story and you can choose what is the best way to tell it. Here are a few ideas.
- Write a brief story, poem or even a thank you note to someone you are grateful for.
- Take a photograph. It could be you with who or what you are grateful for. It could even be a place!
- Make a short video telling your story or showing us what you are grateful for.
- Use your phone’s memo feature to record an audio file of your Gratitude Story.
- Make art! A picture can tell a thousand words!
