Are you local to the Serbin area? Take my job! I’ll even train you! -Chelsea Beck
It might sound like a joke but we are indeed looking to hire someone to continue the important work of running the Texas Wendish Heritage Museum here in Serbin. Please see the information below if you want to know more.
The Texas Wendish Heritage Museum is looking to add to our amazing staff. If you are interested in applying to be our director, please contact Richard Gruetzner at pzfahrer@aol.com or (512)423-5760. We are looking for an energetic and enthusiastic person to fill the position of director or co-director of the museum. Anyone looking to fill this position must be available to work a minimum of Tuesday- Friday and some Saturdays from 1:00-5:00pm as well as all TWHS events (including set up and clean up). When you contact us, please let us know how much time you are able to commit to the TWHS beyond the hours the museum is open. Our director is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the society & museum and wears many hats including staff management, working with our board of directors, event planning (including Wendish Fest), some light accounting work, managing the gift shop in the museum and online, advertising the museum and TWHS events, working with vendors to maintain the museum complex’s many buildings and artifacts, website and social media management, and other duties as assigned. Candidates must have basic computer skills (Google Suite & Microsoft Office primarily), be an excellent communicator, possess top-notch customer service skills and preferably an appreciation of history and Wendish heritage & culture. Pay will be dependent upon experience.
I am a member and will be in the area in mid-April. I am wanting to bring some old family photos with me and see if someone can help me identify the people in the photos. I am thinking it will mainly be people related to the Wenke family who lived in the Sand, Texas area area in the 1930s and before. Maybe some Schatte’s are included.
How should I proceed? Anyone in particular to contact or send photo scans to prior to my arrival?
Hi Lorie,
You can email us at museum@texaswendish.org for more information. We look forward to seeing you at the museum!
