It would be impossible to name all of the people and things we are thankful for this year without creating a blog post that gives War and Peace a run for its money in the length department. There are so many factors that go into making this place work, so many hands, so many creative minds, we would be here until next Thanksgiving naming them all.
So for the sake of brevity and your precious time, please allow a few thanks by group.
First and foremost, attention must be paid to our dedicated, loyal and passionate members. In today's world there are a million organizations asking for your time, financial support and more. The fact that you make the choice year after year to be a part of Philbrook, means so much to us and the betterment of the city as a whole. You make this possible.
We would be unable to do anything (from unlocking the doors to curating exhibitions) without our amazing museum staff, docents, volunteers and everyone who shows up daily and not only get the job done, but perform at the highest possible level.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we would like to thank YOU. Who are you? You might be a family that comes to our Free Family Day and has a blast month after month. You might be a lifelong member or someone considering doing so. You might have grown up in Tulsa, spent some great times at Philbrook, but now live in another city, but make a point to get back here whenever you can. You could be anyone. But without you, we couldn't do what we do. Books need readers. Music needs listeners. And Philbrook Museum of Art needs you.
Thank you for helping make 2009 a year to remember.
