Thank You Mr. Gioia

A few days ago a friend of mine handed me a copy of a speech given to the graduating class of Stanford University in June of 2007 by Dana Gioia, the President of the National Endowment for the Arts. It is an important speech from a thoughtful and gifted speaker. I hope you will take a moment to read it here and pass it on to others.

Enjoy September’s programming and stay tuned for our Membership Drive in October.
