BRISTOL, CT -- Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center, located in Bristol, will hold its inaugural “Imagine Nation Loves Burlington Day” in the spring of 2018. This program is being made possible by a $1,000 grant from the Burlington Community Fund at Main Street Community Foundation.

On “Imagine Nation Loves Burlington Day,” the first 100 Burlington residents will receive free admission to the Museum and there will be a 20 percent discount off family memberships. Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center is committed to the development of inquisitive and imaginative life-long learners. The unique environment inspires young children and families to investigate tangible, interactive learning experiences. The Imagine Nation community encourages and supports curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, confidence, and citizenship.

The grant was awarded during a small ceremony in late January at Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center. Jonathan and Janet Schwartz of the Burlington Community Fund Advisory Council, along with Jarre Betts, Vice President of Programs at the Community Foundation, presented the grant to Sarah Castle and Coral Richardson of the Museum.

The Burlington Community Fund was founded in 2011 by a group of committed community leaders in Burlington to create an endowment fund to support charitable projects and programs that will enhance the quality of life for their neighbors.
