Dear Friends of The Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science:

The Board of Directors and staff of The Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science would like to thank you. You have financially supported the organization in exchange for the personal benefits of our exhibitions and programs. I want to reassure you that although we are pausing in our routine program and exhibition offerings, we are working diligently to become an organization in which you will reinvest for the benefit of our community, our City, the region and our state.

The Board of Directors and other community leaders will be hosting meetings and engaging in dialogue with as many people and groups as possible so we can understand how to better serve you. It is our intention to offer services of greatest value to the largest possible audience. Your input is critical to this process.

If you are a member of our Museum, your membership will be honored for its balance of unused time when we resume regular operations of The Museum. Your Brogan Membership card will also still be honored at other Science and Technology Centers across the country. If you are a Plaza Passport member, you will be offered two complimentary passes to the IMAX Theater. Please contact the Challenger Learning Center if you qualify.

We are especially grateful to our friends at The LeMoyne Center for The Visual Arts who have generously extended an opportunity for all Brogan Members to be welcomed at LeMoyne with a one-year FREE membership. To activate your FREE membership please e-mail your name, address, phone number and preferred e-mail address to membership@lemoyne.org or call them at 850-222-8800. Memberships will become active January 9, 2012.

I hope you understand that our current position is very difficult, and we recognize that our decisions affect you too. We are very positive about our future possibilities and we intend to be a vital educational and cultural facility once more.

As the President of The Board of Directors for The Brogan Museum, I wish to convey to you our gratitude for your support. We look forward to your participation in the upcoming public dialogue.

Sincerely,

Felicia Leborgne Nowels
