Wishing you Happy Holidays!

Dearest <<First Name>>,

We just wanted to send you a short note to let you know a few things before this year comes to an end.

Firstly, know that we are thinking of each of you and sending love to you now and always. We hope that you find time to care for yourself and maybe find a little joy in even the smallest things. YOU are part of what brings all of us at CiC joy. We are grateful for YOU.

Secondly, we have begun pre-production for our next full production in NYC, "Much Ado About Nothing." We've launched an IndieGoGo Campaign for the funds needed to secure our venue, rehearsal space, and designers for the production ($5000). This is the first phase of fundraising and every dollar & visit to the page counts. Even a $3.00 contribution helps our campaign get more exposure and reach more potential collaborators. Our holiday wish is to reach $1000 of support before the end of 2016. Take a look here: http://www.igg.me/at/MuchAdoAboutCiC!

Thirdly, did you know that our receiving grants can depend on the money we're able to raise independently? It's challenging, but some funders want to know you have been able to raise funds independently before they grant you additional monies. We've won one grant for $1000 and are waiting to hear about a few others for which we've applied, while applying for even more! It can be a daunting process, but we believe our work matters, so it's work that must be done.

Lastly, if you'd like to support CiC by wearing a CiC T-shirt, carrying a CiC tote bag, or key chain, or by using a CiC mug, now you can! We've added designs and items to our Cafe Press store. All profits from these sales go toward our core-programming! Here's the exact url: http://www.cafepress.com/ClassicsInColor!

Thank you all for all you do, and your continued support. It is why we're able to make art that matters and represents us all.

Sending you love and light,

Nafeesa & the company of Classics in Color: An INclusive Theatre Company
