A new docent training group will be starting on 4/27, and running Saturdays 9-noon until 6/15 with a break for Memorial Day weekend. We would like to welcome those trainees to the Graycliff family and hope that they find their involvement with the Conservancy as rewarding as the rest of us have. A hearty welcome to: Kathleen B., Dan & Gail S., Don & Susan W., Nancy D., Phillipa G., Michael P., Mary Y., Joe-Susan E-W., Dale N., Linda Mc., Margaret S., Tom J., and Marilyn Mc. It is great to have you join us.

The purpose of this blog is to be a source of information and communication for all Graycliff volunteers as a way of making us a tighter, more cohesive group. Please feel free to contribute and comment. By the way, if you have not met your trainers yet, Marion is the lovely lady in the first picture in the blog heading. .Having gone through the training myself just a year ago, I can tell you that you are going to have an enjoyable experience. And I can guarantee that at the end of the training you will have so much Frank Lloyd Wright/ Darwin & Isabelle Martin information inside your head that it will be busting to get out and be shared on tours. You will definitely become an expert. Welcome to the Graycliff family!
As opposed to stating (only) cold factual information, as well as passing on the relevant information, doing so in a way that makes your information (you tour) come alive and draws people into the "story" with heartwarming details about the people, Mr Wright, the Martins, life at Graycliff... and evoking emotions that leave a feeling of actually living there (for just a moment in time) will really make being there come alive and leave people with a feeling that they want to...they need to...,they must!... return to Graycliff. And return they will.
