Farewell Salute to Ken Kaumeyer Vol. 37, No. 1 Spring 2012 Coming of Age Capital Campaign: The Final Stretch By Sherrod Sturrock, Deputy Director n October, the CMMS Board of Directors launched the public phase of our Coming of Age capital campaign with a goal of raising $500,000 for the renovation of the exhibits Ibuilding. The response — starting with the board members and radiating out through staff, volunteers, members, friends, and the business community — has been impressive. To date we have achieved over $650,000 in pledges and donations. In January, the board raised the goal to $750,000, recognizing that more money would have to be raised to meet the projected construction budget. The campaign ends June 30 — in just three short months — and our ability to move forward with the project hinges on the success of our collective effort. In February, G.W.W.O. Architects delivered the final construction documents and began the permit application process. Everyone who has seen the final design is energized by the creative solutions they have presented. Let me take you on an imaginary walk through the newly renovated exhibition building … As you enter the realigned front doors, you experience a warm, bright and inviting space. You are greeted by the admissions clerk and volunteer at the new admission/information desk. Behind them is a rear projection screen showing the day’s schedule, upcoming events, and images from the exhibits. As you show the clerk your membership card, you overhear the volunteer stationed at the information section direct a first-time visitor to the new twenty-seat orientation theatre on the other side of the screen. Turning away, you approach the expanded Museum Store, reaching out into the lobby and inviting you in to view the latest items. Everything is well lit, beautifully displayed in new casework, with plenty of room to maneuver and see all the unique merchandise. From the store, you wander into the Secrets of the Mermaid’s Purse exhibit where a new, elliptical tank allows the graceful swimmers to move in large, lazy patterns. You notice how easily the small children can see over the redesigned sides, along with their grandfather who is in a wheelchair. You are pleased to see that the Coming of Age Capital Campaign: skate nursery is still part of the exhibit, showing the baby skates in their “purses.” The Final Stretch ................Page 1 Farewell Salute to Ken Kaumeyer ...Page 3 Across the lobby where the auditorium has been transformed into Marianne Spotlight on New Summer and John Harms Hall a group of eighty school children from Northern Virginia Camps for Middle Schoolers .......Page 4 are being given an orientation and split into groups before starting their fieldtrip.

Across the hall in the Wieck Technology Lab, a distance learning program is in progress with a 4th grade class in Colorado, learning about Captain John Smith’s exploration of the Chesapeake Bay in 1608. You follow the newly constructed hallway, lined with student artworks inspired by their visit to the museum, and walk down to the permanent exhibit hall. Here a large, suspended scrim invites you to enter and explore the world of the Chesapeake through three different, but interconnected themes, graphically showing the story that the exhibits will tell as you move through the galleries. And now you move into the gallery space and delve into the ancient world of the Miocene. It’s a very tantalizing prospect and one that is long overdue. The exhibition building was completed in 1989, and other than normal maintenance and the installation and updating of exhibits, nothing has been done to the building in Tri-County Community Bank officials Diane Hicks and Don Parsons (at right) the intervening twenty-three years.

As we have said before, we are not “building so they will come” — they are here, and we need to respond.

As a boy, Bret Michaels was surrounded by military. The son of a Navy veteran, Michaels (born Bret Michael Sychak in 1963) hails from the small town of Butler, Pennsylvania, where military life was an integral part of his upbringing. He says many of his relatives have served and continue to serve in the U.S. military, including his sister Michele, his cousin Bobby, who fought in Vietnam, and his uncle Nick, who served with the 105th Ranger Battalion and died at the Battle of the Bulge. Michaels was raised with what he calls a "have fun, but get it done" attitude. “That had a huge influence on my life,” says Michaels. "My dad always treated people with respect. He liked having fun, but he was also a guy who was right there when stuff needed to get done. And a lot of our friends who lived in the neighborhood had parents who served, and they’d return from wartime or combat and then help each other build a back patio or put a roof on a house. There was always a good effort to get stuff done.” These days, Michaels continues to surround himself with military and bring that same sense of "get it done" spirit to the stage.
