Economic uncertainty and
firancial aid cutbacks to cultural
institutions have prompted the
MAAH to focis on grass-roots
supporters-individuals and
families to build membership.
"Membership is ore of the most
significant support systems for the
Museum, ani it's time we became
rruch more aggressive about it,"
said Brenda Wilson-Hale, QUef
Development Officer. "Tbere are
many people in tre rommunity
woo regularly tell us trey want to
s�rt our institution, but no one
ever asks them to. We're asking
mw."
