The Trustees and Staff Team extend a very special thank you to all our Friends who so graciously and generously support the mission of this truly exceptional Museum. In the fall of 1994, the Museum inaugurated the Friends of the Museum Annual giving Membership Program at the $1,000 level. New Friends were asked for a 10-year commitment and today, 27 years later, we have 78 Friends who have been with us since the very beginning! Since then the circle of support has widened with many of the $1,000 Friends moving upward to the $2,000 level. Levels of $5,000, $10,000, and $25,000 have been created for recognition and are generously funded. Regardless of level, the Friends Program is a vital source of annual revenue that directly impacts our daily operation. Special thanks are owed to the late Martin Zonnenberg who conceived of the idea, and to the late Bill Danforth, John MacLean, and others who helped to make it a reality. Most of all great thanks to our many Museum Friends:
