DocentDoings

Hi Everyone, I just want to let you know that many staff and volunteers told me today how much they appreciate the docents and how nice it was to be invited to the Appreciation Coffee.  I’d also like to add my gratefulness to you for all that you do here at the Museum, and especially for your help  today. As a reminder I will be off work from 2/16-3/6 returning on 3/7.  Our Day Captains will send you the schedule for March and pass on any information they receive regarding Museum news.  Please contact Dan Keeffe if you need assistance while I am off.  Thanks. Julie
