Here is my partner in building the library for the Catholic High School, Cristo Rey. Actually while I provide the professional expertise, Mary Alice is the woman with the vision. This was just one example. After getting an email that was directed at all members of the museum, about a book sale, Mary Alice contacted them about making a donation to Cristo Rey, which actually is situated just a few blocks away in the Museum District. As a result of her request, the manager of the gift shop donated two brand new books to the new library, one a great overview of the museum collection, the other a collection of 360 degree photographs of Virginia locations. They will both be great additions to the collection! It should be noted that I got the same email, and it never crossed my mind to request a donation. So cheers to VMFA and double cheers to Mary Alice!
