HOW TO BE A PATRON OF THE ARTS

by

Jim Boring

Just want to share a small example of how easy it is to supply support to Lit Pot if you happen to work for a corporation -- and how easy it is to miss opportunities to help Lit Pot.

My wife works for a major pharmaceutical company and came home the other day with a story about buying a dozen expensive Waterford pens as rewards for service above and beyond by some employees. Pens? Yep, here I am trying to drum up corporate support for Lit Pot and my own wife is buying pens from some supplier other than Levenger. Now she knows better and so do you.

If you or anyone within your sphere of influence buys or recommends corporate gifts please ask them to use the link from Lit Pot to Levenger for their purchases. Let them know how important it is and how much their support means to the great literary adventure we are all, readers and writers alike, embarked on.

Each of us has to do just a little bit to show companies, especially the corporate giants, that it doesn't take much to be an important patron of the arts.

Come on, they are going to buy those pens anyway -- buying them from Levenger through Lit Pot makes their gift mean so much more.
