January 22 and 29, 1 to 3 p.m
The Sanibel Historical Village board and committee members will conduct a special training program to get new volunteers started and to help current volunteers refresh their memories about the many historical buildings, artifacts, and stories to share with visitors.
The program will consist of two classes. The first of the two classes will be from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on January 22 in Shore Haven, and the second class will be 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on January 29, also in Shore Haven. Classes will feature a general overview and presentations by village experts, as well as a guided tour through the village.
Executive Director Emilie Alfino said, “Our training sessions are fun and a great way to meet people. Anybody can volunteer, even if they start out without any knowledge of Sanibel history. We will teach you what you need to know and are always available to help.” Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer should call Emilie at 472-4648.
