MAYBE<br />

QUESTIONING<br />

THE NORM<br />

SHOULD BE THE<br />

NEW NORM.<br />

Every time a bar gets raised,<br />

a record gets broken, or a<br />

new star shines, it’s because<br />

somebody was curious.<br />

Wondering how high they<br />

could reach. How much<br />

they could do. As a proud<br />

sponsor of the <strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>Puppetry</strong> <strong>Arts</strong>' String Fling<br />

Gala, we applaud that.<br />

Questioning everything<br />

makes anything possible.<br />
