“As a Director’s Circle Member, I take pride in knowing that I am supporting an institution that benefits so many individuals and families in our area. Giving that something extra enables the SM&NC to enrich multi-generational audiences with unparalleled experiences—from nature walks, to great adult public programs, family festivals, and stimulating art and natural history exhibitions for our great city and the region.”
