Preserving and maintaining Ocean City's heritage
is time consuming. Currently, we are in desperate need of
volunteers, especially for the summer months. Our volunteers are
responsible for most of the operations of the Museum. We need help
giving tours, working in the Gift Shop, creating displays and, lastly,
documenting and cataloging our Accessions.
I am sure you can see that we are really in quite
a bind. Would you please embark on a "Labor of Love" and
join our Volunteer Group? We do ask that you first join as a
Museum Member for $15.00 annually for an individual, then you can join
the fun with the rest of us.
For information or to sign up, please call
609-399-1801 or send an email to
the OCNJ museum. |
