On Saturday, March 13, from 9 a.m. to noon the Essex Shipbuilding Museum will hold a Volunteers’ Day. All are welcome.
The success of the Essex Shipbuilding Museum is due in large part to its energetic and motivated volunteers who devote countless hours to the museum. While there are many active volunteers, there is always a need for more. To recruit new volunteers, the museum is holding a Volunteer’s Day with two purposes in mind:
1. To provide an opportunity for interested individuals to learn more about the museum and the many interesting and fulfilling opportunities for volunteers, and
2. To provide an opportunity for existing volunteers to get a broader picture of what goes on in the museum as a whole and what some other opportunities are.
The museum has opportunities for seasoned professionals and raw newcomers to have a good time, meet interesting people, and have the satisfaction of doing something that will make a lasting difference.
The event is open to both members and non-members.
The day begins with an overview of the museum, followed by short presentations on each of the areas in which there are needs. Then there will be breakout sessions to learn more about specific areas. Time commitments and scheduled times vary with the area, and these will be covered in the individual presentations.
Some of the positions that the museum currently has needs for include: Educators, Tour Guides, Program Committee, Fleet and Facilities Projects and Maintenance, Lewis H. Story, Gardening, and Admissions Receptionist/Store Clerks
