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.
Volunteers should call Emilie at 472-4648.
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 16 in
Shore Haven, and the second class will be 1 p.m. to 3
