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 />
