GCM's New Administrative Assistant

By Gina Anderson

I am excited and honored to join the Gaston County Museum staff as the new Administrative Assistant.

While I’ve lived in Gaston County all my life, I certainly don’t know all there is to know about the county.

Henry Ford once said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether he is 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” I want to stay young!

I am looking forward to learning more about the museum and the cultural heritage of the county I’ve always called home. In fact, I must share a few very important details I learned about the museum on day one. Without volunteers the museum could not serve the community. Did you know every year the Gaston County Museum of Art and History reaches nearly 20,000 people? How? The museum offers a wide variety of programs, events and exhibits including on-site school field trips, outreach programs, original and inspirational art shows, concerts, summer camp and so much more all while keeping a historical, yet lively, museum open to the public.

It takes volunteers to keep things rolling, and the museum is looking for a few more happy faces to do just that! Please drop by our Volunteer Open House on Monday, May 19, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. We have a volunteer opportunity for you! You will be surprised how volunteering just a few (and I really do mean a few) hours a month can benefit the museum. If you can’t make it to the open house but still want to consider volunteering at the museum, just call or email me! Let’s learn and grow “young” together!
