Volunteer Appreciation Day – Dec. 3/10

Huronia Museum staff are very thankful for our volunteers who help out with everything from building exhibits, making costumes for education programs, raking leaves and folding newsletters. The staff rely on the support of our volunteers to keep the museum running smoothly.

To show our appreciation, the staff will be holding a volunteer appreciation afternoon on Friday, December 3rd at 3:00 PM until 6:00 PM.  All volunteers and members are invited to join us for an afternoon in the auditorium of the museum for refreshments. We hope to see you there!
