We couldn't do what we do without YOU! Thanks for your support!We would like to extend our thanks to the individuals, businesses and foundations who generously gave to our Annual Fund during the 2009 fiscal year. Without the Annual Fund, the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine just wouldn't work! Can you imagine CMTM without... ...firefighter costumes? ...Touch Tank creatures? ...boats to float in the Discovery Woods stream? ...stories to read in the Book Nook? ...camps for pirates, fairies, budding artists and silly scientists? ...visits from the Sparks Ark animals? ...groceries to buy in The Market and baskets to put them in? ...Youth Rangers to help you learn about the fun science in your own back yard? ...visits from storybook characters like Biscuit and Stella Luna? ...paint, feathers, glitter and glue for Big Messy Art? ...tasty Cultural Cuisine to make and sample? ...magical, musical shows to see in the Dress Up Theatre? The Annual Fund helps us provide programs and supplies like these (as well as safety upgrades, staffing, cleaning supplies, and so much more!) ensuring that you and your family have a fun, fresh, exciting experience every time you visit. Be one of the first to kick off the 2010 Annual Fund today!
