An experienced dancer herself, her passion for the arts and dedication to our cause came in several forms, such as her service on countless event committees, setting up snack bars for our performances and events, promoting our mission to the local business community... and really, anything that was asked of her! Mary Anne could often be found behind the scenes loading up stuff or helping ensure things ran smoothly. As a tireless advocate, she leveraged her skills to bolster our outreach programs, fostering community engagement and expanding our reach. Her wisdom and most-welcome perspective as a Midtown neighbor and CIM friend guided us through challenges like moving locations, COVID-19, and so much more.
