 My signature below indicates that I have read and understand this entire application, including the Scope of Duties.  I understand there is no compensation for this position and also fully understand that, if accepted, I am agreeing to work at the lighthouse on the days and dates assigned to me for six hours each day.  I also understand that I will be required to work extra hours during special, scheduled activities such as the Memorial Day Weekend Open House, the Rogers City Nautical Festival and the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival.

I further understand that some aspects of the responsibilities, particularly providing tower tours, require good health and the ability to deal with the public and to handle unexpected emergencies.  I understand that my duties will include working in the gift shop and performing routine cleaning of the museum, gift shop and pilot house.  I agree to a personal telephone interview ( if required) and to attend the required orientation session.  I also agree to work all hours assigned to me if I am selected to be a Guest Lighthouse Keeper.
