Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon

It is no secret that without our volunteers, we would have a very hard time doing our jobs. They are the backbone of this institution; our docents that look after the exhibits; our collections crew that adds new artifacts to our database; our research committee that helps visitors find historical information; our Shenandoah Restoration volunteers that help to restore the vessel, even in the freezing cold; our education volunteers that have put together an incredible Midway Pioneer School Experience for elementary students; and the countless more that don't fit into a "type" but are just as helpful and appreciated.

We thank you, volunteers!

Here are some photos from our volunteer appreciation luncheon on February 14, 2012. (click on "read more" to view more photographs)

Work on the Shenandoah

This past weekend, volunteers on the Shenandoah Restoration Project did a little bit of laminating. They also built a railing for the deck on the Shenandoah. Volunteers included Pete Hegarty, Mel Bill, Ian Stewart, Orin Saunders and Pete Lancaster.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering on the project can stop by on Saturdays between 10:00am and 1:00pm to sign up and get started! We are always accepting new volunteers, and there is a lot of work to be done. Volunteer hours are Saturdays and Sunday, 10-1.
