success is the success of our volunteers—their time,

their talent and their treasure. Docents offer their time;

our librarian contributes her talent; donors give dollars. If

you are a donor reading this, you may think, “I never

thought of myself as a volunteer of the museum.”

We know donors have choices on where to give their

dollars, and we are happy to include—in this our first

annual report—a list of our donors, our largest corps of
