I need your help supporting my community service.

Money can be a taboo subject for those of us who give back to our communities.  It seems tacky to be asking for it - after all, aren't we volunteers for the greater good? But it often takes money to keep doing what we love to do and to improve the world around us.  This is why I'm asking for you to invest in my work.

I have been producing my GISH PICKS blog since 2004 as a free service for Houston and the surrounding areas.  I have scoured high and low to bring you information on unique activities for families and adults -- as well as the latest news on products, services, and nonprofits that I think would be of interest to you. However, this free service is not free for me to produce. My graphic designer, my researchers, and I happily create it week after week, but I need to ask for your help in keeping it going.  I will do this  once a year only -- I hope this won't cause you to unsubscribe and I also hope this won't offend you. Instead, I am hoping that you'll simply feel moved to help.

If you'd like to connect in other ways, please LIKE both of my Facebook pages: GISH PICKS: CURATED CULTURE FOR KIDS and GISH PICKS: CURATED CULTURE FOR ADULTS. And if you are on a budget and can't help out financially, please spread the word about all that I do for the community and encourage your friends to become GISH PICKS subscribers by going to the website to sign up (www.GishPicks.com). The more people who know about GISH PICKS, the more the organizations that I am highlighting will be helped. And then...they will be inspired to create even more wonderful activities for all of us! It's a win/win/win situation.

Do you have an event you'd like to advertise? Contact me and I'll market it in GISH PICKS!

As you can see, I'm busy but I'm happy because the goal of each one of my projects is to be of service in some way and to CHANGE THE WORLD. It's always been important to me to be a changemaker and I hope you'll be inspired to join me in this revolution (need some helping getting started? Click here  for some ideas!).     

THANK YOU for being my loyal reader and for helping me spread the word about how great our city is.  I love meeting so many of you out there, having a blast discovering your own cultural activities.  It's our shared enthusiasm for this city that keeps me going.

One more thing before I sign off -- please help me out by clicking here to take a *very brief* survey about GISH PICKS readers, which will help me better serve your needs.  

Thanks so much for reading all of this. I appreciate you!
