As you may know, this Fall, our site search began anew.  Since then, we've been actively pursuing other site options, several of which happen to be on Pine Street in downtown Burlington.  Tell us what you think about this location.  Contact us with feedback or other recommendations at info@gmcm.org.

It's full steam ahead as we seek applicants for the position of GMCM Executive Director.  Resumes are still being accepted as we continue the first round of interviews.  If you know of a talented and qualified candidate, encourage them to contact us at mbeer@gmcm.org.

Proponents of play from the child development website Zero to Three emphasize that play is critical to the development of early science, math, and literary skills.  As they so aptly put it, "play is the true work of childhood."
 
Hiring an Executive Director, developing exhibits, and participating in special events all require funding.  Pledges are also greatly appreciated to help secure a building.  In the coming weeks, please watch for our annual appeal letter or take a moment to give today! Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.  You can help in other ways too:  spread the word about GMCM by forwarding this newsletter to friends and family; volunteer your time and energy on a GMCM committee; or become a fan of GMCM on Facebook.

Cabin fever setting in?  Shake it off and harness the Olympic spirit to create your very own family Olympic Games.  Have fun brainstorming events such as the Balloon-Between-the-Legs Race or the Balance a Marshmallow on a Spoon Race - anything inside or outside that everyone in the family can do. Conclude your games by awarding medals created from cardboard covered in colored foil or painted gold, silver or bronze.
