FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Take What You Have Learned or Know and Pass it Along to Others!
 
Are you a storyteller?  Do you enjoy telling a good story?  Would you like to tell interesting stories to students about Goodhue County? 
 
The Goodhue County History Center would like to talk to you!  We are currently taking applications and conducting training for volunteer Tour Guides for the upcoming Spring and Summer season.  Lead a group of students throughout the museum during weekdays, and bring to life the interesting stories of Goodhue County’s past residents.   Introduce the students to the materials that were used and how our predecessors contributed to what our community is today.   Help students discover their backyard history by relating the stories found throughout the History Center.    
 
Upcoming Tour Guide training is Thursday, February 12th & 19th, at 10:00-11:00.  You do not need an extensive knowledge of Goodhue County’s history, only an enthusiasm to tell a good story!  For more information, please call Diane Buganski at the Goodhue County History Center at 651-388-6024.

Volunteer Benefits through the Goodhue County History Center

Now that colder weather is settling in, how do you get your walking time in? At the Goodhue County History Center!  Sign up to be a Museum Guardian, and you can continue your walking program indoors in the warmth and comfort while volunteering.  Monitor the beautiful exhibits and artifacts throughout the building and answer questions from visitors while walking throughout the history center!   Weekend afternoons.        

As an added benefit, if you are over 55 you may receive benefits through the RSVP (Retired & Senior Volunteer Program); as well as Fare For All, a supplemental food program through the EFN that could save you 40-50% off your monthly food budget.  Fare For All encourages community volunteerism which is the heart of their program.

To sign up for the Museum Guardian program, please call Diane Buganski, Outreach Coordinator at the GCHC at 651-388-6024 or email at:  goodhuecountyhis@qwestoffice.net.  The Goodhue County History Center is located at 1166 Oak Street, Red Wing.
