SPI closed to public beginning March 16 in response to public health directives related to the COVID-19 pandemic; we will remain closed until May 1, monitoring the news to determine if additional closures are needed beyond that date. We know this is difficult for the thousands of families who rely on us as a community gathering place and center for family fun and play-based learning. In 2019, we saw 15,887 visitors to our signature Discovery Play program at SPI Spot and impacted an additional 2716 through outreach and enrichment activities on and off site.
Our organization is losing admission and membership revenue during this period of closure, which supports a significant portion of our small annual operations budget. We hope you will consider buying admission vouchers, gift certificates, and memberships or making a donation to SPI online. You can also mail a check addressed to "SPI" to 400 S. Main Street, Mount Vernon, OH 43050. Your help will allow us to endure through immediate emergency circumstances and ensure SPI's sustainability as a community resource into the future.
Please be sure to visit our website or Facebook page periodically to keep on top of the latest SPI updates.
