About a week ago, I contacted the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center to ask if there were any volunteer opportunities I could help out with. Turns out they currently have a project running on Monday mornings where they need people to come in and help out proofreading the interviews they had transcribed from early pioneers. The project sounds like it would be an great thing to be involved with so I told the woman I spoke to, to pass my information along. I got a phone call today and am set up to go in on Monday to my first meeting. I am excited to get a chance to volunteer there. Especially since their focus at the museum is really centered around a lot of what I enjoy studying. Even though I work on Monday's I am hoping that I can get an hour and a half lunch break to go up and then spend two extra days during the week working to 5:30 instead of 5:00. The people I work for are really amazing and go out of their way to support everyone's goals. I am hoping this is one we can work around. I am also hoping to eventually be able to volunteer there on Sundays to help out maybe on other projects or tours. I have taken courses in archive management and have plenty of other historical experience and course hours under my belt so hopefully that will work in my favor. All in all, this is going to be another really great experience for me to look forward to. I'm not quite sure what it is about this year so far that makes me so optimistic but I am. I feel like things are finally moving forward and I am really looking forward to seeing what the year has in store. (This Saturday is also my first day at the fort! Wish me luck!)
