Volunteer Arm of the Heard Museum
The April 17 Guild Meeting included the graduation ceremony for the newest Las Guias class. There were 16 graduates this year. The graduates and their mentors came to the front of the Steele Auditorium. As Ann Marshall called each graduate’s name, the new Guide came forward and Dale Baker handed them their brown badges. Congratulations to all the graduates!
