LA Fire Department Museum - looking for volunteers

The LAFD Museum is looking for volunteers to help out with several different projects and a few chores from time to time. They may even train some of the more qualified volunteers to give tours. A large part of it is to welcome visitors, answer questions, provide safety and generally be visible. Sometimes parents forget that it's a museum and not a playground.

The Museum is open on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, but most of staff and volunteers drop in around 8:00 - 8:30 am for a cup of coffee and a donut. Volunteers don't have to stay all day, even a few hours will help. The "Bob's Diner" staff gets in about 6:00 am to make coffee and then start preparing lunch, which is only $5.00 for staff and volunteers.

You can call (323) 464-2727, mention that you want to volunteer and leave your name and call back number. The Director of Operations is on vacation so you probably won't get a call back until the beginning of October ... or you can stop by the museum and see Bob Lee.
