| Exhibit design drawing- Lake Cahuilla |
We've been working hard to get our permanent exhibit into the final phase and this weekend we rolled out the final exhibit design drawings to the public. A public reception on Saturday displayed the drawings, test text panels in English and Spanish, and was a great opportunity for us to thank those who have been big supporters over the years. This was very much the culmination of what we've been working towards since the first staff member was hired.
The event was a huge success, with 158 people in attendance for the reception and the screening of First People Kumeyaay, a new documentary on the rich history and culture of the Kumeyaay Nation. We received a lot of positive feedback on the upcoming exhibit. People are excited to see the progress this grassroots museum has made and be a part of the growth they see.

I am thrilled to be a part of the growth and development of the museum and the building of this new exhibit. I've been wearing more hats than I ever expected to since coming here, and I think for the most part they all fit: Archivist, Head Curator, volunteer coordinator, intern mentor, event planner, exhibit designer, docent, researcher, social media specialist, and a hundred other little jobs that need to happen to keep a small museum running. A small museum and a small staff means everyone has to be flexible, and can't be afraid to learn new things. I'm still growing into some of my hats, but every day more and more of them seem to fit a little better.
