a child through the pandemic. e deep
commitment of everyone, our advisory
council, board of directors and most espe-
cially our staff, who come to work every
day because they love children and want
to see them succeed and be happy and
resilient. To me, that's one of the joys.
As a mom of young kids myself, I
understand first-hand how challeng-
ing these times have been. Being able
to provide an outlet and educational
opportunity for parents and caregivers
and their kids is hugely rewarding. It says
something really positive about the city
of Portland and the state of Maine that
the first thing you see when you drive
into the city is the Children's Museum
& eatre of Maine.
