A Message From Our President Gary Pigg

Move It! Dig It! Do It!

I just love this new event that Tina Smith our Trustee has developed for Saturday, October 24th. The title reminds me that nothing happens until we decide to do something. With all the negative news that surrounds us everyday, it's no wonder that so many people have just hunkered down into their economic foxhole. Well we haven't! We are moving right along with plans to build a new 5,000 sq foot museum. Soon we will be moving it, digging it and doing it with this project. I can only tease you with my excitement for now as all the paperwork has not been completed. If good things happen to people who wait, well we've waited long enough and we're ready to get going on this next stage of Discovery Center development. I want to sing the praises of our Trustees, Councilmember Larry Westerlund, Randy Cooper of Parks and Recreation, the Mayor's office and our counselor Dave Holland for all their sincere efforts to bring this project along.

We hope you will bring your family out to the Discovery Center to enjoy its programs and to visit the wonderful botanical park setting. We are open to the public at no charge (we do accept donations of support). We have themed Saturday Science programs for the community to enjoy. Please join us this week.

The Discovery Center is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) that does not receive any direct grants from governmental sources. We depend entirely on schools and the public's participation in our programs along with contributions from private foundations and the public.

See you soon,
Gary L Pigg, MBA
