Hello Crew!

On my personal page you may have read my philosophy about changing the world one person at a time. I also think that if we bring caring individuals together we can make a positive change on Hilltop Artists, our community, and the world! (Kind of like that Sia song "Together" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnfGni4_RlI - apparently I can't make a hot link here but if you copy and paste the address to the video in your browser you can see what I'm talking about [note: Leslie Odom Jr. of "Hamilton" fame is one of the rainbow of singers!])

I'm sorry that this pandemic is preventing us from getting together in person, but I'm happy that many of you are able to join us online to celebrate Hilltop Artists and the better futures we offer to our program participants. Instead of one afternoon of fun we will be rolling out some events and videos over four days, starting with a live Zoom/Facebook event on Tuesday October 13th at noon where I will be chatting with students and staff about what Hilltop Artists has been doing since March and what we will be doing into the future (like setting up a new online "store" before our virtual "Winter Sale" in December). Then October 14th through 16th I will email you short videos that our students have created (kind of like hearing our Student Speakers at the luncheon). We will reveal the recipient of the 2020 Greg Piercy Award and will have video messages from some very special members of the Hilltop Artists family. Check your inbox for these virtual treats throughout the week!

I will do my best to set up a Zoom call for any interested members of of Dr. Kim's Crew on Friday October 16th at noon. Here we can chat about Better Futures, Hilltop Artists, our programs, and what the future holds for our organization. If you have any questions for me this would be a good place to ask (or we can set up an individual chat if you'd like, ask me at kkeith@hilltopartists.org). I'm sure Katy and Monique will help me set this Zoom call up - I am a novice when it comes to setting up my own calls, but an ace about attending the calls of others! Hope to see you then!

Thanks for being a part of my crew and for supporting Hilltop Artists - together we can make a big difference in the lives of young people, thanks for caring!

Cheers,

Kim
