VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT! Photo of Fran Worthington Fran Worthington began volunteering at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) in August 2015. CSPM is fortunate to bring on such an enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer. From the very beginning Worthington has said “yes!” to extra volunteer shifts, supporting busy family activities at the museum, helping improve school program stations, reading to toddlers and even taking home construction paper to cut out thousands of leaves for Thanksgiving crafts! As a volunteer, Worthington supports the Hands-On-History school program, family fun days/festivals, Children’s History Hour and downtown walking tours. Worthington shared that leading the school programs gives her the “kid fix” that she has missed since retiring from working in schools. Worthington has enjoyed meeting new people and the opportunity to contribute to the community. She also loves that she learns something new every time she is at the museum! Worthington is a retired educator from District 8, where she taught first grade and was an elementary Library Media Specialist for a total of 31 years. She has been married to her husband Bill for 32 years. Their daughter is a military spouse currently living in Florida. She is a long-time and very active member of the Velvet Hills Chorus of Sweet Adelines. Outside of her involvement with Velvet Hills and CSPM, she enjoys traveling, walking and reading. Thank you for going above and beyond, Fran! We are so glad to have you as a volunteer and friend of the museum. Interested in Volunteering?
