are the welcome smiles who answer phones, greet visitors,
and make certain we open and close at posted times. There are
varying shifts of 2 ½ hours per day (Wednesdays through Sundays)
available.
In 2010 we are
planning to expand our reach by bringing in new audiences
through a comprehensive marketing program, and partnership with
area schools and youth organizations, Seniors programs, etc.
More visitors require our bringing several additional people
onboard to fully serve to the community.

We are anticipating an increasing number of visitors who are
more comfortable communicating in Spanish, and are also
seeking Receptionists equally conversant in Spanish and English.
