History Center Opens May 27, 2006
Volunteer Docents Needed

The Board has scheduled opening days at The History Center and Museum.  Plans are to open May 27 and be open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 4:00.  The History Center will be closed Sundays.   This schedule will be followed until Saturday, September 30. This will meet our requirement to be open one hundred days per year to qualify for Pennsylvania State support.

The 2006 docent calendar will be available at the Spring Dinner Meeting for reserving your favorite days and times to serve as docents again this year. Volunteers can serve for a six hour day, 10 to 4, or for three hour half days from 10 to 1 or from 1 to 4. New volunteers are most welcome and appreciated. Call Lew or Paula Weingard at 755-4229 to reserve the dates you are available to serve. 

Each volunteer will receive a packet with a calendar providing names, telephone numbers and times for each volunteer, a list of names and telephone numbers of those available to fill in for you should your scheduled date conflict with an unexpected event, a list of suggestions and instructions on where to pick up a key, lights, keys for the garage and Camp 7, posting sales.
