Volunteers Needed for
BHI History Project
BHA's Socialization, Education & Recreation (SER) Committee, in conjunction with the Old Baldy Foundation, is looking for volunteers to assist in cataloguing documents relative to the history and development of Bald Head Island. Neither minimum time requirements nor recurring involvement is required.
This may be a perfect activity for residents interested in the history of the development of BHI, for something to do on a rainy day or for teens and young adults looking for community service hours to add to their resumes, etc. The only requirement is that volunteers have a smart phone on which they can download a scanning application from iTunes or Google Play.
Anyone interested in volunteering a few hours can contact Elizabeth Kinney at
[email protected]
or Susan Panousis at
[email protected]
to schedule a time to appear and receive a brief training session on how to catalogue.
