so as anyone who has met me knows, i am a real sucker for a cause. aspca commercials will make me cry and empty my wallet. some causes obviously i feel closer to than others, and that's when i get really sucked in. anything that has to do with animals, and i'm hooked.
walking through a shopping center the other day, a girl from greenpeace asked me if i would like to help save the whales. i said i don't have time and walked on (don't judge, that is what most people do.) but then after walking around a little more, i saw her get shut down by dozens of other people, so i went over and asked how it is that i can help. (after all, who doesn't like whales) i told her that i thought what she was doing, (though challenging) was really important. long story short, i am now a member of greenpeace. whether it was because i felt badly for the whales or the girl, or both.
today, i realized if i am going to give money to an organization, i should really get something for it. (that is the selfish part of this story)..... since i want to work at a contemporary art museum, if i become a member, who gets invited to new showings and events, that would be educational for me and maybe help me rub elbows with the right people. so short story, even shorter, i am also a member of MCASD. can't wait until the next "thurday night thing."
oooo i hope there are some sweet perks.
