05/22/2006: "Be A Docent At Whale Museum"

The Whale Museum needs you to help us educate the public during the upcoming busy summer season. We are seeking volunteers to participate in our docent training program that will provide background information on whales as well as successful strategies for working with the public in the Museum's exhibit hall space. By utilizing the exhibit displays, text panels, and hands-on specimens, docents will be able to explain to visitors the characteristics of a marine mammal, what marine mammals live in the area, and the interactions between humans and whales over time.

The dates for this program are June 13, 14, and 15 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm. All training sessions will be held at The Whale Museum, 62 First St. N.

The fee for this program is $25 for non-members to cover materials costs and is free for current museum members.

For more information or to sign up, please call Marcy Kober, Education Curator at 378-4710 extension 23.
