SEBRING -- For those who love Florida history, or want to learn more, the Highlands County Art League is looking for volunteers to be docents during the Smithsonian Institute's "Journey Stories" exhibition Dec. 8 through Jan. 19.
Docents are volunteers who act as guides or educators. In this case duties include making sure visitors feel welcome, orienting them to the exhibit, explaining what to expect and pointing out special points of interest, and providing information about the Museum of the Arts.
Perhaps the most interesting responsibilty is encouraging questions and answering them.
Decents attend a training session to make all of this easy. There are two sessions scheduled, both on Thursday, Dec. 6. One is at 1 p.m, the other at 6 p.m.
The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday for six weeks. Decents work in two-hour shifts.
Please call the Art League in advance at 385-5312.
