Help needed for Smithsonian exhibit

A Smithsonian exhibit “Key Ingredients: America by Food” will be featured in the Golden Library and Pecos Room Feb. 23 through April 4. To supplement and enrich this event, a wide variety of local programs, activities, lectures, displays are being planned; however, help is needed.

A huge thank you to many who have already been helping and have promised to help with the local programming for this Smithsonian Event.

The greatest need for help is that of docents (guides) to be available to guide and explain to exhibit goers what they can expect as they travel through the main exhibit. A pamphlet that explains each portion of the exhibit, and a one-hour training at 2 p.m. on Feb. 19 is available to volunteers.
