In January 2019, we held our first community meeting at the Twin Falls Public Library to share with the community our desire to build a children’s museum within the Magic Valley. We presented the steps we had already taken, such as joining the Association of Children’s Museums, receiving our non-profit 501(c)3 status in November 2018, drafting our mission and vision statements, and creating our logo. We also held community meetings in Burley, Jerome & Hailey.
To share our message to more individuals in the Magic Valley, we reached out to area civic organizations and presented at their meetings. Over three months, we presented to the following organizations:
Jerome Rotary
Twin Falls Rotary After Hours
Twin Falls Optimist Club
Twin Falls Kiwanis Club
Twin Falls Lions Club
Rotary of Blue Lakes
Twin Falls Rotary
Burley Rotary
Twin Falls Service Providers
Mini-Cassia Service Providers
Jerome Service Providers
We were grateful to share our mission and vision for CMMV with these groups. We received great feedback and excitement for the project.
