  1. Please smile at all times and keep hands out of your pockets.
  2. No chewing gum.
  3. Do not play with the counter / clicker
  4. No leaning against a wall or post.  (IE..  Stand straight, in an "At Ease" position.)
  5. Have a watch so that you know when the next Fort or Town demonstrations are going to be.
  6. Bring your Mackinac Island Guidebook, so that you can assist visitors with directions and or historical details about the Island.
  7. Be on the lookout for visitors that need assistance with:
    • Taking pictures.  (If you see a mom or dad taking a picture of their family, offer to take the picture for them so that they can be in the picture.
    • Strollers / Wheelchairs - Oftentimes, visitors need assistance getting strollers through gates or up stairs.  Offer to help.
    • Directions to bathrooms, other locations, where to buy tickets, etc.
  8. Know where the bathrooms are from where you are stationed so that you can assist visitors.
