We are pleased to once again have
received money from Canada Summer Jobs to hire a student for 8 weeks.
Our last student Tenashia was with us for 2 summers and this year
has been hired by The Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina as a
summer student. We welcome this year Shelby who has just finished
grade 11. We have kept her busy learning new skills: cataloguing new
artifacts, including proper cleaning and storage. She has been
scanning our latest collection book, scanning booklets and original
photographs, assisting in rearranging displays and helping with our
senior's tour. I can not believe 2 weeks has past.
There are still more assignments to
come.
As we all know, as
volunteers, there are quite a few things we always mean to get around
to yet never have the time for. For me as a baby boomer I have
enjoyed learning and exchanging ideas with a millennial. Hopefully
Shelby and I will have time for a computer workshop . She will show
me things on Windows 10 and I will show her how Mac functions.
