The board is pleased to have found such a well-qualified design firm in the immediate area, saving the museum both time and money in this project.

The response to the project was overwhelmingly positive with companies wanting to know how they could be a part of the museum and organizations eager to be partners.

Our fund-raiser tells us that it can take three, four or five meetings before you get companies to commit (to a project like this), which could take four to eight months. But he was really encouraged by their response. He had people calling him the day after the show.
