The
Delaware Estuary needs your stewardship.
The A.J. Meerwald needs your commitment. Your involvement can help make the difference for future generations. (And you can have a lot of fun while doing it!) |
Welcome to the Volunteer Information Line
Starting in
February, BDP will offer four fun-filled, enriching Saturdays of volunteer
shipboard training during which volunteers will learn the skills needed
to become educator/deckhands. The training will take place in the Bivalve
Shipping Sheds on February 13, 27, March 13 and April 10. For further information call
Megan at 856-785-2060 ext. 107.
We have a very
busy schedule ahead of us in order to have the boat ready for her 2010 sailing
season. There are electrical projects, blocks to be overhauled,
& numerous painting projects.
We need help for the haulout, which is till pending. There
is painting, scraping, sanding, and caulking. We hope to see you Saturday or any day (except
Sunday for now).
Volunteers
are needed to make follow-up phone calls during daytime business hours to
potential Bay Days business sponsors. Request letters and sponsor forms
will be mailed to more than one hundred potential sponsors during mid-March,
and the follow-up phone calls need to take place during the first two weeks
in April. Scripts and all necessary materials will be provided. If
you would like to help raise sponsorship money for Bay Days, please call
856-785-2060 Ext. 100.
