This Thanksgiving, the Enquirer will again pay tribute to great arts volunteers.

Thousands of people contribute hundreds of thousands of hours to make our arts scene possible, whether it's a mom making sure there are art projects in school, the usher you see more often than some of your relatives, the retiree doing the accounting or getting a mailing out for a small arts organization.

Arts organizations large and small from throughout the Tristate are invited to submit the names and stories of your unheralded arts volunteers. We wouldn't have art without them, so lets say thanks.

Deadline for submission is Oct. 31. Questions? Call Jackie Demaline at 768-8530; e-mail: jdemaline@enquirer.com.
