Mt. Hood Museum Needs Your Help!

We'd like to welcome any and all ski club members to attend a "Volunteer
Orientation" on Saturday, May 14th , at 10 a.m. at the Museum. Mount Hood
Museum and Cultural Center needs volunteers for the coming summer months,
weekdays and weekends. Volunteers can help greet visitors, perform data
entry and assist with displays and curating artifacts. There are also
several upcoming events where we'd love to have your help-including our
Heritage Days celebration in September, as well as other events happening
this summer. Here's a fabulous opportunity to help the Museum as it grows
to become a top-notch Oregon attraction. After all, as a ski club member,
you'll probably be in it someday! For more information, contact Sheri
Parshall at 503-245-3782, or e-mail cougskier@..., or call the Mt. Hood
Museum in Government Camp at 503-272-3301.
