WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

 

We need volunteers for all sorts of jobs.  Welcoming visitors at the front desk, helping to set up displays, learning to do photographs, researching old newspapers, keeping records of obituaries, marriages and births, and working on the new calendar.

And get this…….. we need people to record Bandon today so the Bandon Historical Society will have material to work with in 50 years.

 

Interested?  Call 347-2164 and leave your name and number.  We’ll talk!
