They have been among us fall Summer, but it has been such a busy season that we had not until now taken the time to introduce the new docents from this years training class. Eileen Blackman and I, as Docent Trainers ran a training class through later April, May and June with the help of a number of you who contributed your efforts. Many thanks to ; Anita Mitchell, Patrick Mahoney, Marion Schmidt, Nel Gardener, and Marcy Workman.
We started with a group of eight trainees and ended the training proudly certifying four docents to add to our ranks. Those four are Valerie Meldrim, Denise O'Shei, Susan Nickson, and Marianne Myles. We hope you will introduce yourselves to them when they are on site and make them feel a part of the Graycliff family and we happily welcome them all to our esteemed ranks.
I would like to request a favor from all of you; we need new docents and we need to actively recruit them from friends, relatives, or neighbors who you feel might be a good fit for our mission. We will be running another training class in Spring and we would like to start recruiting now in an active manner to insure we have a large group since the success rate of docents who begin training to those who complete it averages about half. So please search out people who you think would make a good docent and forward me their names and contact info and we will work hard to make them one of us. My contact as always is gds2146@Hotmail.com, or 631-8717. Many thanks, George Struebel
