Day Sixteen: June 14th

Tuesday I worked with Allison, Carrie, and Bobby. We had so many people working because of the FAM [Familiarization tour] tour. Front desk workers from local hotels once a year go around town an tour the local museums and attractions so they are better able to explain the sites around Marquette. My boss Carrie took them up to the lighthouse and around the museum. 

Allison and I also tag-teamed another tour to the lighthouse. Once we returned from the tour, Carrie handed us a large manila envelope from the third grade class we gave the museum tour to. When we opened the envelope we discovered it was filled with wonderful thank you cards. Many of the students drew their favorite part of the tour! Receiving the cards was the most rewarding feeling in the world. You can tell from reading their cards that they actually listened to what you were teaching them. 

We also received a delivery of 3 large boxes. They contained books, lighthouses, lenses, shot glasses, playing cards, keychains, calendars, mugs, magnets, and bookmarks. Allison, Carrie and myself stayed after closing to finish pricing and placing the items out on the shelves for sale.
