FORD PRESIDENTIAL FOUNDATION SHARES VISION FOR THE FUTURE WHILE PREPARING TO CELEBRATE PRESIDENT FORD’S 100TH BIRTHDAY Campaign launched to build learning center and create access to historical documents. The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation’s local Grand Rapids trustees met with area business and community leaders on November 9, 2012 to share a vision aimed at creating global access to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum’s and Library’s exhibits and documents through a $15 million capital campaign. The campaign will fund a 10,500-square-foot student learning center at the museum located in Grand Rapids and create interactive exhibits using the latest technologies. Online digital access to a significant number of historical documents in the museum and library located in Ann Arbor are also planned as part of the campaign. The fundraising phase of the campaign is expected to be completed during the spring of 2013. In addition, a series of special events are also being planned to commemorate President Ford’s 100th birthday. Further details of the special events, expansion, exhibit renovations and digital access to historical documents will be announced in the coming months. “The vision of this campaign is to attract students of all ages to the museum and provide online access to the museum and library’s incredible holdings,” said David Frey, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Trustee and Campaign Co-Chair, together with Trustees Red Cavaney and Terry O’Donnell. “This expan- sion will let individuals explore the Ford Presidency, the lives of Gerald and Betty Ford and a significant number of historical documents associated with the history of our nation during the 1974-1977 time period.” The Foundation is collaborating with the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Grand Valley State University to develop a curriculum that will benefit students and individuals who visit the museum, library or online learning sites. “Prior to today’s announcement, this plan was shared with the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation trustees, and they collectively agreed to lead the funding efforts by pledging a combined $10 million to get the campaign moving quickly,” said Steve Ford, son of President and Mrs. Ford, and chair of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation. “The addition of an on-site student learning center will allow teachers to bring full classrooms into the museum to study history, civics and see first-hand the core Top: (l-r) Chairman Steve Ford announces the Capital values Mom and Dad shared throughout their life.” Campaign for the Legacy of Gerald R.

Komen For The Cure, presented the Betty Ford Lifetime Achievement Award to Senator Olympia Snowe at the third annual Honoring the Promise Gala at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Friday, September 28, 2012. The gala event honored those paving the way to a cure. The event raised $1.5 million for Susan G. Komen’s breast cancer programs. In addition, Susan was the keynote speaker at the 10th annual Power of a Promise luncheon in Seattle, Washington on October 24, 2012. Susan said, “As a recently named Global Ambassador for Susan G. Komen For The Cure, I am very honored to officially join Komen in this role. It represents a handing of the baton in a symbolic way from Mother to me, and from one generation of women to another. I often marvel that in just one generation we’ve come from a time when we wouldn’t say breast in polite conversation, to a time when this disease is discussed openly and candidly, just as Mother and Dad had hoped.” “I know we can stop this disease. Mother believed it; Dad believed it. The baton is now passed to a new generation of women and men who also have the resolve to stand up and defeat this killer.” On November 8, Steve Ford shared the story of his mother’s inspiring journey of breast cancer survival along with his own story of co-surviving at the Susan G. Komen annual benefit “On The Wings of Hope” at the Goei Center in Grand Rapids. Steve said, “If Mom were here tonight, she’d tell you she was just an ordinary woman stuck in an extraordinary time.” The event recognized local cancer survivors, volunteers and grantees for their determination, passion and effort in savings lives by fighting to end breast cancer.

Several years ago, I took up gardening and still enjoy planning, planting, nurturing, re-arranging, trading, anticipating, watching things grow, pruning, ridding pests, and wedging dirt under my fingernails. It’s therapeutic. Working in a library, I find we are much like gardeners (and occasionally get just as dirty). We spend our days planning programs, nurturing young (and sometimes not so young) minds, watching our collections grow, and weeding materials from the stacks. For those of us who allow food and drink in our libraries, we sometimes even have to rid our buildings of pests! We’re now spending a few days in Grand Rapids, home of the lovely Meijer Gardens among other great amenities. I hope that you may take some time before or after the conference to visit some of the area museums and other attractions. Many are offering conference goers discounts on admission prices if we show our badges. (See page 5 for more details.) I wish to convey my gratitude to the many sponsors who have given so generously Michael McGuire to MLA. Their logos, sponsorship acknowledgments, and advertisements appear PRESIDENT, MICHIGAN LIBRARY throughout this program. Our conference would not be such a success without them. ASSOCIATION My thanks go to the staff of the Grand Rapids Public Library for hosting our All- 2005–2006 Conference Reception on Wednesday evening.
