Michael Henszey, has been a part of Milwaukee Empty Bowls since the beginning. He was the Entertainment Committee Chair for 20 years and after moving to California in 2019 has stayed connected to MEB. This year Michael wrote and recorded a beautiful song that he has graciously shared with us to use throughout our MEB Virtual Event. A note from Michael about the song: Take Care Of Each Other captures one of the fundamental gifts of humanity: being kind to one another. I was reading through a charged social media conversation and a friend had waded in, offering, "I don't know why we can't just be nicer to each other." Another friend responded, "Yes, we just need to take care of each other." My hope is that we look beyond our friends and family to see the common struggle we all share. There's enough resources for all of us and we can be inclusive and generous even in trying times. |
Sincerest thanks to Michael for all the support he provided to MEB throughout the years. Let's all try to take care of each other.
