July 9 - 10, 2005 Workday at Hooper Strait Light

Chapter volunteers returned to Hooper Strait for the second year to do basic cleaning and polishing.

The volunteers drew attention from museum visitors with they questions about the lighthouse and other Bay sentinels.

The volunteers were able to spend the night camping out in the lighthouse and treated to a beautiful sunrise.

Sound like fun? The Chapter's next workday is scheduled for July 23, 2005 at Ft Washington. Sorry, no camping at this one! To learn more about the Chapter's Volunteer Program, visit the Volunteer page on this site.

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