2 MILLION REASONS TO CELEBRATE (Thursday, April 7, 2011)
Two million people and counting from around the world have visited the Clinton Center since its dedication in 2004. “The library honored the “Honorary 2 Millionth Visitors” during a special reception at the Center to celebrate two Arkansans exemplifying public service who work hard to make the community a better place to live and work — and thank them for their dedication.”
Dr. Ann Robinson, director of the Center for Gifted Education at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and Gerald Cound were honored by the Clinton Library for their service to the state of Arkansas as the “Honorary 2 Millionth Visitors” with a special recognition ceremony and tour yesterday. They will also have the opportunity to meet with Bill Clinton at the Presidential Library.
