Job
Well I didn't get the job at the clinic for the Clerks position but at least I know now that i'm going to have to practice some more on the computer with word and excel. I was grateful at least to have been able to write the test and that they were even interested enought to look at my resume. So i'll just continue on with my Senior Rep work.. actually i get to take over this week.. wedenesday, thursday and friday and monday and tuesday of next week. I'm also volunteering as a docent at the Art Gallery so i've already been in for training for that.. The marketing coordinating let it drop that she's leaving for Toronto.. so hrmmmm.. depending on funding of course her job *might* be posted.. so if it is i'll jump on it.. doesn't hurt and if I at least get an intereview it will help keep me in practice. If not i'll just keep learning what I can and helping out where needed.. I'm hoping to even help in the gardens.. the director/curator is hoping to bring the gardens back to where they were at one time historically.. so that will be fun.. so alot of reading to do for that.. about the history of the house and of course with the current exhibit .. being the 85th anniversary of the founding of the group of seven they are running an exhibit that coincides this.. :) So I'll just keep plugging away..

What's a docent???
A docent is an volunteer at the Gallery who is like an educator, raconteur.. they basically provide information about the current installation and from time to time do tours with groups either adults or children.. it also adds extra security for the gallery.. can't have anyone touching the paintings or running thru the gallery and also to make sure that people aren't bringing food or drink into the gallery.. especially with the show that is currently on at the art gallery in sudbury.. Some of the paintings are almost 80 years old.. 4 of them are on loan from the Art Gallery of Ontario.. the rest - about 20- are from a private collection.. and some of them hadn't been stretched or framed.. one of them had been rolled up and kicked under a bed where it sat for 10-20 years.. yes thats right :) and i'm not sure who posted that comment but i hope that answered your question

I ...Cameron posted that Comment....So a Docent keeps people ...decent
Heh yeah thats a good way of putting it :) I'm hoping to be able to do some of the tours as well.. Theres a seniors group coming thru in the next month or so i believe and a couple of other conventions in town over the summer that have booked some time in so hopefully i'll be able to conduct tours for one of those groups :) I hate speaking in front of groups so this is a good way for me to get over that fear.. :)
How do you book time...I have 400 "fellows" coming Thanksgiving Weekend for a Conference at the Caswell...Could a tour date and time be booked for a private tour???
