It was only one year ago, in July 2012, that I began working as a volunteer in the costume collection on Sunday afternoons. While that period seems likea lifetime ago, I am so proud of all that has been accomplished at the Museum in one year, and am so excited for the present and future ofthe Richmond Museum Association.
