June 17, 2006 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 replacing rotten boards to stabilize the exterior. Thanks to Hobie and Robert for taking the lead on this effort.
Sound like fun? The Chapter's next workday at Ft Washington is scheduled for July 22, 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.
