Long walks are my time - time to think and sort out ideas. Today, I took the opportunity to really appreciate all that is happening in my work- even in the rain! I am thankful for a supportive Board of Directors who are dedicated to creating a model place to play, supporting early learning, and eliminating financial barriers to play. Their steadfast leadership and sound guidance is making the opening of a all-new, Pay As You Will based Museum a reality. I appreciate the dedicated staff who are spending countless hours planning and building a new Museum for our community. Thank you for bringing the power of play to our community every day!I am indebted to the many community supporters. From the lead gift by the Sequoia Foundation and the Cheney Foundation, to the many individual donors and the enthusiastic efforts of our Piggy Bank Brigade kiddos, each of you plays a key part in enriching children's lives and ensuring that more of our region's families learn through play. I am so proud that together, we are helping build strong children - today, and for the future.  We'll see you at the new Museum in 5 weeks! Fri, 16 Dec 2011 10:14:00 PST
