We are grateful to the task force, Sanda Jones, Michelle DeEsch, and Jim Cleveland, for the following report, which we will begin to enact March 1.
1. March will be a working month for the board and interested persons to do active work to get the museum ready for visitors by April 1.The museum will not be staffed with volunteers in March; it will be closed to the public, unless requested by a group for a specific date. Members of the board and others brought in will inventory the office, determine what should be offered for sale and how that sale will be accomplished, work on fundraising ideas, and scheduling of Fountain Tour groups and school and civic groups. The museum will re-open April 7. It will be open through October on Thursdays and Fridays from 10am-2pm and the 2nd and 4th Saturdays from 10am-2pm. It will be staffed during these times with docents.
2. All docents will complete a training course. The six Saturdays beginning July 2 (WWII exhibit will be open), and ending August 6, will be staffed by paid docents, who have completed the training.
3. Museum Committee is charged with creating a self-guided tour that all visitors can use. The “Shelbyville Then and Now “ booklet will be used, and a WWII supplement is needed.
