April 21, 2007 Workday at Fort Washington

Chapter volunteers returned to Ft Washington Lighthouse to continue their maintenance and preservation efforts. With a new supply of lumber, volunteers focused on prepping the lumber for the week long overhaul.

Sound like fun? The Chapter's next workday at Ft Washington is scheduled for May 1 - 5, 2007. To learn more about the Chapter's Volunteer Program, visit the Volunteer page on this site. If you would like to be more involved and have not yet done so, fill out the 2007 Volunteer Form.

If you are ever in doubt about a date for a Chapter event, check out the calendar on the web site.
