Foremost, we want to thank people who have supported us. Then we let them know our needs in the future. About 2,000 memberships have been purchased in the past seven weeks, since a direct-mail campaign. The art museum hopes to more than double its attendance in the first year after the expansion. Some of those people may also pitch in to pay for the new wing.
People are thrilled. . . .
So I think we're in an excellent environment to complete the campaign. Hopefully, there will be a lot of people waiting.
