October 29, 2005 Workday at Thomas Point Shoal Light
Chapter volunteers returned to Thomas Point Shoal Light to continue their preservation and restoration efforts. It was a chilly, sunny day with a chop. Kudos to the boat captains for getting the volunteers safely to and from the light.
Sound like fun? The Chapter's next workday at Thomas Point Shoal Light is scheduled for Spring 2006. 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.
