Orange County Docent League Fall Event
By Betty Murphy

The Fullerton Arboretum Pavilion was the site of the fall meeting of the Orange County Docent League on October 3. The OCDL includes organizations representing the arts, sciences, history and naturalist groups within Orange County and neighboring counties. As one of 28 member organizations in the league, Amigos de Bolsa Chica was represented by six of our members including Barbara Binaski, Alma Bowman, Margaret Carlberg,Laura Holdenwhite, Betty Murphy and Jennifer Robins.

The guest speaker was Becki Hartke, B.F.A., Exhibition Designer for the Fullerton Arboretum who shared her expertise in determining how themes are decided upon at an exhibition and how those themes are developed. Ms. Hartke also highlighted the role of docents in the process of execution of themes for specific exhibits.

Director of the Fullerton Arboretum, Greg Dyment, introduced us to members of the Victorian Society Dancers and Dressers who entertained us all with a showing of Victorian era fashion as well as music and dance fromthe period. We all participated in some lively dances and enjoyed the spirited atmosphere!
