We wrote recently about the Grand Circle Foundation. Its chairman, Allan Lewis, visited the Museum on June 21 and signed a letter of intent for $1,250,000 in aid to the Museum, earmarked for adapting the "Old Theater" building for use by the Education Center. The funds will be transferred over a period of five years following the formal handover of the building to the Museum.
