I had class yesterday and submitted my paper on what the volunteer training would consist of. Very fun project. I included classes such as, the history of the Tiki establishment. tiki architecture and googies in America. Painters and Carvers then and now. Ephemera and its distinctive illustration styles. Decor, what are the elements that make up a "tiki" environment- this class includes mugs, rattan , tapa cloth, puffer fish lamps, and that sort of thing. There was also a class about identifying tropical foliage on the museum grounds and about the simulated rain shower and volcano. Every volunteer training has to include emergency procedures and safety in the museum. The tricky part for this particular museum is how to interpret "tiki" for kids. and I'm still dancing around the whole cocktail issue. Now I am going to start to research foundations for grant money to get this started. I might actually find a legitimate funding source. anyone have input on location for this museum?. If not It will be here in Seattle. Still looking for board members too.
