It never hurts to spread the news! "Gee, Meredith, who shall I talk to about this?" you may ask. Well, the possibilites are endless, and it's a great conversation starter! Here's a an example:
You: "Hello, Mr. President! Have you heard about Amplify Austin Day on March 5-6?"
President Obama: "Um, who are you?"
You: "I'm a fan of the Texas Early Music Project, and we are so stoked about the upcoming fundraiser day on March 5-6! Would you be interested in donating on that day for TEMP?"
President Obama: "How did you get in here?"
Okay, so maybe President Obama isn't your next door neighbor, but you can definitely tell your next door neighbor! Thanks for helping TEMP make the next season a fantastic one!
