In this season of hope, we are keenly aware of the extraordinary challenges so many of our friends and neighbors within our communities, as well as we as a nation face. Perhaps one of the most important things we can do to help each other is the simple act of encouraging those dreams which help enrich our lives, beyond measure. The arts are there for us, to inspire us even in the darkest times. They illuminate our way, so that we may continue our journey forward, step at a time. Let us take this journey together, sharing whatever gifts we can with those in need, and with those places that help reach out to our communities and beyond, making our lives that much better. We hope that you will consider The Edison Arts Society as one of those treasured places, there for all. Help us keep this dream alive, a dream that “will need all the love you can give, every day of your life for as long as you live.” Won’t you join us as we continue following every rainbow, as we reach for our dream…

Our thoughts and prayers are for the people of Haiti & Chile during this time of great devastation. We as an Arts Society recognize the tremendous beauty of both cultures, and the spirit of its nation’s individuals. So many of us have been thinking about ways that we can help. Donations of whatever you are able to give to places like the Red Cross, or the Cinton-Bush relief fund are certainly immediate links to the aid relief effort. The Edison Arts Society will be presenting a benefit to add our voice of caring to the many wonderful things that have been ongoing in the United States since this terrible disaster occurred, to help the Haitian & Chilean people rebuild their lives their ultimate survival will undoubtedly be ongoing for the months and years ahead. The EAS is committed to doing whatever we are able to do, in order to give what we can to make a continued effort of help a real possibility. In times of crisis, the arts have always found ways to inspire and uplift people, nations, and the world at large. Once again, it is time, and we are grateful to the many gifts of our artists at EAS, and our many friends and supporters, to help carry forward this mission. We will be announcing our artistic benefit in the days ahead, and hope that you will all join us in this effort. In the meantime, thank you for all of your personal efforts to give to these catastrophic relief efforts.
The true kindness and generosity of the American people is our country’s greatest treasure. Thank you for sharing this with those in need.
