First Day
My first day volunteering at the SLO museum was on January 25, 2008 from 10AM-1PM.
The two docents who helped me get into the groove of things were Marion and Lynne. Marion advised me to watch the documentary that was played in the Chinese history exhibit, so I can explain the history in deeper context to tourists who visited the museum. We did not receive visitors until about 11 30AM, and what you, the reader of this blog, might find interesting is where the visitors came from. There were two tourists from New Zealand (Wow! I know!), three tourists hailing from the desert state called Nevada, a historian from Pismo Beach or Paso Robles (I can’t remember which one), and a Cuesta Professor and her son. I regret not asking the tourists about how they found out about the museum in SLO, since 90% or more of the students at Cal Poly probably don’t even know the museum exists. Marion and Lynne spoke with the guests most of the time, and by time I felt like doing the talking, there were no more visitors. Aw shucks! I’ll be more assertive next week!
