Big Wigs Night at the Museum


Martha Meyers quote1 copyWow! Today I’msuper lucky to feature a remarkable woman here on Catch the Rush!

Not many people get to read about the insider information here, so check out these FUN and AMAZING facts from the original BIG WIG Martha Meyers!

  1. She was involved with the MN Children’s Museum for 10 years on their board – 3 as chair! So smart of C’MON to approach her when she became a full-time resident of Naples! She was instrumental in transitioning the board from a capital raising to operational board, and she’s been on the board for 4 years, including being involved in the original Gala and the 1st Night at the Museum event.
  1. She understands the importance of having a children’s museum in a community. In her own words, she expands on this. “Creating a life-long love of learning among our youngest citizens enriches our entire community.”
  1. She credits Andy Marquart (former executive director) and Sandi Wilson for the idea, A Night at the Museum, but we have Martha to thank for the execution of the first event!
  1. Last year her favorite part of the event was the casualness, the opportunity to education the guests about what children museums are, and the ‘Right On’ Band.
  1. When asked if she has a favorite part of the museum, she said, “The Graffiti Wall which was part of last year’s Night at the Museum (coming in January).”

Stop by The Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples and check out the Graffiti Wall!
