Steven,
 
We way out here in the remote reaches of Western Colorado are also
involved in building a new facility (we hope anyway).  We have plans for
an educational center as part of our expansion, and plans for
incorporating a rather large volunteer work force (over two hundred) at
some level in the planning.
 
Don't know if it will help, but you might want to contact our Curator of
Education, Brenda Bechter, and/or our Volunteer Coordinator, Nanci Ann
Southern.  Don't know how much they can do in the next 38 days as we are
on the ballot in November re: operational funding, but you might want to try.
 
Nanci will be going online with AOL soon, and Brenda is currently without
access to E-Mail.  I would gladly share with them E-mail as needed.  But,
the telephone may be a better option (Museum of Western
Colorado-303-242-0971).  Snail-mail is: MWC, P.O. Box 20000-5020, Grand
Junction, CO 81502-5020.
 
Cheers!
Judy Prosser-Armstrong
